Hello to everyone,

I would like to package nnn for cygwin

https://github.com/jarun/nnn/

nnn is already packaged and distributed on different systems/distributions:

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=nnn
https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-misc/nnn
https://software.opensuse.org/package/nnn
https://pkgs.org/download/nnn
https://pkgs.org/search/?q=nnn
https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/nnn
https://www.freshports.org/misc/nnn/

The current release can be downloaded from

https://github.com/jarun/nnn/releases/tag/v4.6

and can be compiled on cygwin without patches.

nnn does not have a "native" Windows port.

.hint and .cygport files are attached

Best regards

Federico

A few minor comments on the cygport:

> SUMMARY="nnn is a full-featured terminal file manager. It's tiny, nearly 0-config and incredibly fast."

SUMMARY probably shouldn't start with the name of the package, because 
it's often used in contexts where the name of the package appears 
immediately before it.

Generally, I think it should be just a noun phrase, not an entire sentence.

I'd suggest just "a full-featured terminal file manager"

> REQUIRES="libncursesw10 libreadline7"

It looks like these dependencies are successfully auto-detected, so you 
don't need to explicitly list them.

I added this to your authorized packages.

Does cygwin/cygport offer some functionalities for querying those if not 
written in the cygport file?

Currently I "parse" the file for creating automatically a test environment.
Removing those means that I am not currently able to recreate such 
environment automatically, and would need to track the information 
separately.

That information is written into the requires: line of the generated 
.hint (e.g. nnn-4.6-1.x86_64/dist/nnn/nnn-4.6-1.hint)

Ideally we'd have some mode of setup where you could write e.g setup -P 
./nnn-4.6-1.tar.xz and it would install that just built package and it's 
dependencies, but SHTDI.

(https://cygwin.com/packaging-contributors-guide.html#installing 
somewhat discusses this lack...)
