I'm trying to build fontforge packages with latest upstream
   https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/

( forked for cygwin build to
   https://github.com/cygwin-lem/fontforge/tree/n_20200314p64_maybe-nonbreaking 
)

And, some of Yaakov's patches are now in the upstream:
   
https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/commit/c0a27e4bdc436e73901b7a6cd7e4b6910fcee408


* Cygport files are forked here:
   https://github.com/cygwin-lem/fontforge-cygport/tree/n_20200314p64-1
from
   https://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/fontforge.git .


* New test package files are here:
   https://cygwin-lem.github.io/fontforge-cygport/ .


========
* Note:

To build test packages:

(1) prepare cmake-3.17.3-1 (test)

(2) invoke build.sh under
   https://github.com/cygwin-lem/fontforge-cygport/tree/n_20200314p64-1
   as follows:

     ./build.sh --generate-cygport --download --test

   (or for short: "./build.sh -s -d -t" ).

   This generates cygport files, downloads a source tarball, and test-tagged 
builds.


When we build fontforge, it can be linked to only one specific
version of python3.
So, I've prepared four cygport files by a script ./build.sh

   fontforge-nopy.cygport
   fontforge-py38.cygport
   fontforge-py37.cygport
   fontforge-py36.cygport

========
* Need help

Please give me any advice on building and packaging such cases...


========
* Need help more

Any advice on how to adapt it to the CI system.
Is it enough just putting the generated cygport files in a repository?



Regards,

Lem
