No they should not, although there is at least one other package (libusb IIRC) that requires non-standard Windows drivers for functioning fully or correctly. How to present that requirement in setup is another question.

Replying to myself... Mark Geisert wrote: Hi Thomas, Thomas Wolff wrote: What became of the winfsp-fuse project discussed in July 2016? I'd like to be able to use ftpfs or sshfs in cygwin. Integration of the project into Cygwin stalled around that time, or was it 2018? [...] I would love to have somebody interested in trying out FUSE on Cygwin. If you require a cygfuse package I guess the first step for that would be for me to reissue the ITP and make the package real. Another alternative would be for you to build from the Github repo https://github.com/mgeisert/cygfuse if you're feeling adventurous. Our fuse package as it stands is not ready for use. When I last looked at it years ago I was too new to both FUSE and project porting to understand what was missing. Currently it's a source package that supplies a glue layer for Cygwin apps to make use of WinFSP, a Windows FUSE driver. It also supplies source for a Cygwin sshfs app that demonstrates correct operation of WinFSP via Cygwin. I've now looked at and installed the most recent WinFSP. The Cygwin glue layer works as well as it always had. But something is missing: integration with the usual shell file manipulation commands. For example, one can't 'cd' into the directory on which a foreign file system has been loaded. That seems like a major issue unless I'm misunderstanding things. Let me reach out to the WinFSP folks and see if I'm doing something wrong or if there's additional work to be done on the Cygwin side. In any case the project needs some smartening up. I plan to rename it FUSE for the upcoming ITP, to avoid name conflict with libfuse* common on Linux. I see that 'mtr' is another Cygwin package that makes use of a Windows driver via libpcap. Maybe I can use mtr.cygport etc as a guide; I'm unsure whether a Cygwin package should be including Windows drivers. Thanks for reading; advice welcome, ..mark

I'd like to adopt and upgrade libwebp to date as it is now up to 1.2.2 from 0.6.1 and available and supported in most distros and all browsers (including our Qupzilla) except (unsupported) IE and older packages: https://cygwin.com/packages/summary/libwebp-src.html The cygport is available in the libwebp package git repo playground branch: https://cygwin.com/git/?p=git/cygwin-packages/libwebp.git;f=libwebp.cygport;hb=refs/heads/playground and the packages have been built under scallywag: https://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/jobs.cgi?srcpkg=libwebp logs in: https://github.com/cygwin/scallywag/actions/runs/1771264878 I picked up the package because I thought our images at cygwin-htdocs/goldstars/img/ seemed large for small icons: $ wc -c img/* 3473 img/dungbomb.png 1074 img/goldstar.png 1303 img/goldwatch.png 9382 img/pinkwatch.jpg 877 img/platinumwatch.jpg 878 img/plush_hippo.jpg 1055 img/silverstar.png 18042 total so converted them and found they were much smaller in webp format, and reconverting using the upgraded package command: $ cwebp -blend_alpha 0xff img/$img -o images/$i.webp $ wc -c images/* 220 images/dungbomb.webp 284 images/goldstar.webp 286 images/goldwatch.webp 322 images/pinkwatch.webp 232 images/platinumwatch.webp 204 images/plush_hippo.webp 174 images/silverstar.webp 1722 total Those images are attached if anyone wants to standardize the images in the directory and update the img src file types in goldstars/index.html. Conversion of all cygwin-htdocs web site images to webp (including using `gif2webp -mixed` and converting X2.bmp to png then webp) would reduce the total image sizes from 907008 to 236842: details are attached.
