If somebody is interested to pick up maintainance of that package, you're welcome. See http://cygwin.com/setup.html for more information. The cygport packaging method is the preferred packaging method these days.Why don't we have an nfs-client package? Same reason - no maintainer? I would think an nfs-client would be much more useful than an nfs-server package.An NFS client is a filesystem driver. There are companies providing such NFS clients, one of them Microsoft with SFU on pre-Vista and the NFS client in Vista/W7 Ultimate/Enterprise.
