# Note from the developer
|
||||
|
||||
I am no longer working on apt-cyg. As far as I know, it works.
|
||||
|
||||
However it was written quite a while ago by reverse engineering the files used by Cygwin's setup.exe program. It doesn't
|
||||
share any code with setup.exe, and if setup.exe is modified in such a way that assumptions made by apt-cyg no longer
|
||||
apply, apt-cyg will break.
|
||||
|
||||
apt-cyg is an infrastructure program and probably belongs in Cygwin rather than here, but as far as I know, RedHat is
|
||||
no longer paying more than one or two engineers to work on Cygwin and they are unlikely to do anything with apt-cyg or
|
||||
other, similar programs that are out there.
|
||||
|
||||
Because I got dragged into a time-consuming and unpleasant law suit involving apt-cyg, I am very unlikely to put
|
||||
more time and effort into it anytime soon, even though I won. I write open source software because I enjoy it, not so
|
||||
I can get involved in meaningless conflicts.
|
||||
|
||||
If you would like to contribute to apt-cyg, the best way to do that is to fork it. You don't need my permission to
|
||||
do that, just follow the license.
