[ITA] fontforge-{nopy,py38,py37,py36}-20200314p64-1 for review

[Lemures Lemniscati]

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

Packages related to fontforge 20190801 or 20200314 in Ubuntu, Debian and
Fedora are linked to python 3.8. 

https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/python3-fontforge
https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/python3-fontforge
https://fedora.pkgs.org/32/fedora-x86_64/fontforge-20200314-3.fc32.x86_64.rpm.html

So, I'll retry to make fontforge.cygport in order to link it python3.8 only,
later.

that was also my finding. I agree on your proposal

In addition it seems sphinx is "needed" for 3.8
so I put it on my TODO list.

unfortunately I have problem with python-gi, so other things are dragging on...

Hi!

** fontforge 20200314p70 linked with python 3.8 for review

I've rewritten fontforge.cygport and patches for cygwin
  https://github.com/cygwin-lem/fontforge-cygport/tree/n_20200314p70-1 ,
for the latest upstream https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/ .

New test packages are here: https://cygwin-lem.github.io/fontforge-cygport/ ,
or https://github.com/cygwin-lem/fontforge-cygport/tree/gh-pages .

Lem
