Hello,
I would like to package Qemu for Cygwin.
See https://www.qemu.org/
Thanks for looking into this, and sorry for the delay in responding.
Qemu is included in Debian.
See https://packages.debian.org/source/buster/qemu
Qemu is released under the GNU General Public License, version 2. Parts
of Qemu have specific licenses, see file LICENSE.
See https://qemu-project.gitlab.io/qemu/system/license.html
I've prepared cygports for the packages as a POC. See
https://gitlab.com/hejko-cygwin/cygports
Qemu binaries and resources were packaged in mingw64-x86_64-qemu and
mingw64-i686-qemu. To make Qemu accessible in a transparent way, I've
created qemu-integration. It mainly consists of a wrapper and a setup
script.

https://gitlab.com/hejko-cygwin/qemu-integration
I assume that it's not straightforward to build cygwin executables of
QEMU, but mentioning some of this issues would help.
Given that: do we really need to build our own MinGW QEMU packages? Can
the integration script just rely on the official Windows packages being
installed?
For download of POC packages see

Any interest for Qemu packages in Cygwin?
If so, I would split Qemu into several packages and add all licenses
included in Qemu source before final upload.
