Hi Michael
currently we are missing a maintainer
https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/astyle-src.html
so if you want to volounteer

please join the cygwin-apps mailing list
https://cygwin.com/lists.html

and start reading the documentation on https://cygwin.com/packages.html

you will need minimum to install the cygport package.
It is the tool we are using to build and deply the other packages

You can download the old script from
