[ITP] hello

The GNU Hello program

CATEGORY="Devel"
SUMMARY="An example Cygport package based on GNU Hello"
DESCRIPTION="The GNU Hello program produces a familiar, friendly greeting.
It allows non-programmers to use a classic computer science tool which would
otherwise be unavailable to them.

Seriously, though: this is an example of doing a basic Cygwin Cygport package.
It is the Cygwin version of the GNU Project’s “Hello, world!” program
(which is itself an example for the GNU Project)."


I packaged "GNU Hello" for Cygwin as an aid in testing the Cygport Workflow Template
posted about in separate threads, and I though I might as well check if there
might be any interest in adding it to Cygwin.

The Cygport file is available in the following repository:
 * https://github.com/mesheets/hello.cygport

Zip files containing the following:
 * Archive of the contents of the version control repository at the time of build
 * x86_64: Main binary package and hint file
 * x86_64: Source package and hint file
 * x86: Main binary package and hint file
 * x86: Source package and hint file

…are available along with the build log at the following link:
 * https://github.com/mesheets/hello.cygport/actions/runs/17056980638

A number of distributions include it, including Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, and openSUSE:
 * https://repology.org/project/hello/versions

(The "Description" in the Cygport file is a riff on Debian's package description.)

The upstream project is:
 * https://www.gnu.org/software/hello/
