Are there any Cygwin packages that aren't fully cygport-scriptable yet? For example, are there any that rely on (free) software not yet available in Cygwin for their builds? If so, then they'll need to keep being built locally and manully uploaded. I thought about this when I was taking a first look at building fish version 4, which is written in Rust. I hope that we'll have a Cygwin-native Rust package available soon, so maybe that's not a case to worry about. But are there any others? Andrew
