You can add your new packages to cygwin-pkg-maint since you have a login
account on sourceware.orgi with cygwin group access.
You'll need to use CVS:
cvs -d :ext:sourceware.org:/cvs/cygwin co htdocs
You don't add "-devel" or other subpackages packages like
libgl2ps-devel. Just add the main package name.
In case anyone noticed: unison is a special case since new version
numbers are part of the package name.
To answer the general question: Anyone without a cygwin group account on
sourceware will have to send mail here to have one of us update
cygwin-pkg-maint. Personally, I'd appreciate a patch but if you can't
do that, at least use the same format as cygwin-pkg-maint in your
request.
