After I run for example cygport libargp.cygport finish it waits for about 5 minutes without any message to the console, before the first "Removing work directory" message appears. pstree shows that during this time cygport is waiting for chattr. In /usr/bin/cygport I see: if [ $OSTYPE = "cygwin" ] then chattr -fR +C ${workdir} >/dev/null 2>&1 || true fi which is trying to make the workdir case-sensitive. Whatever the advantages of that are, it can take a long time. Would it be possible to skip it at least in the case of "finish"? It seems silly to spend all that time fixing up a directory tree that we then turn around and remove with rm -rf. Thanks, Andrew
