Since it has met all formal requirements, I have uploaded cabextract. (The
HOLD-UPS line in the PPL is empty.)

However, Jari Aalto has not posted to cygwin-apps since November of last
year, and does not appear to have responded to private queries. He has other
packages in the PPL; should these be [temporarily] de-listed?
Should we begin a countdown toward putting maintainership of cabextract up
for grabs?

I think so.


The problem with the cabextract package was the same as the problems with all of Jari's other packages: the build script had errors. For example, you cannot download the -src of cabextract and build a new version for distribution. If you do, the build script within that new -src package will be called cabextract-0.6.1-2-0.6.1-2.sh, or some such.
