[Solved] Cygwin: untracked tracked software :-)
-
Hi,
I was happily surprised to have my version of cygwin seen outdated and a new version proposed.
I was surprised as cygwin is flagged as "untracked".So still untracked? Or untracked tracked?
Regards.

@gregalexandre OK, then I mark this issue as solved.

@tom "sporadic security information" was / is the reason.

@OLLI_S : explained so can be moved to fixed.

Something like that...
Well, essentially there can be two reasons why we flag something as "Untracked".
One is if we can't find a good reliable way to track the latest versions.
The second is if we can't find a good source of security information.
Looking at this, it seems that it is the lack of security information that caused us to mark it as untracked, but I also just reviewed the latest versions and it is also clear that the version numbers and strings in the files is a tad inconsistent.
And on that note I just fixed the detection of the latest 3.3.4 so it should be correct now.
