Back in July, there had been discussion as to whether Git needed to be a dependency of gettext-devel.

>From discussion, it appeared that Git could be removed as a dependency.

The latest listed version of gettext-devel is 0.22.5-1 from 2024-10-06.
 • https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/gettext-devel.html

Is anything additional needed before a new gettext-devel package that removes the Git dependency can be released?


Thank you,
Matthew
