Hello all,
Let me just start by saying that I really think bashdb would be a nice
addition to Cygwin. That said, I'll need some convincing to add it to
mainline Bash as I don't want to maintain YA out-of-tree patch for Bash if I
can help it.
As for Bash-2.05b-17: I've applied Pierre's patch to bash-2.05b-16 and am
compiling it now (I've got a coffee break I can use for that).
As for Bash-3: it doesn't currently get through the tests and I do not have
the time at the moment to figure out why not. The reason for this is very
simple: I don't have a Windows machine at home so all I have for testing is
my lunch and coffee breaks. (This same lack of a Windows machine had a
rather dramatic impact on the time I had allocated for the Cygwin project a
while ago, when I was at home for nearly four consecutive months.. donations
are welcome ;)
Reini, if you still intend to package bashdb and bash_completion, I'll be
happy to work with you to integrate them into the bash package. However, as
you have already stated that you don't want to maintain bash and I have
already stated that I don't want to maintain bashdb or bash_completion,
we'll have to find some solution to this or accept a stalemate. Please feel
free to mail me privately about this.

PS: I've subscribed this (hotmail) address to cygwin-apps as I don't have
E-mail at home either and the Gmane equivalent of this list doesn't allow
posting. There's no need to copy to ronald@... or to this address..
