Thank you, I will adjust the Cygport file accordingly.
"RESTRICT=diff" is probably appropriate here
Yes, this is just what is needed; thank you.
A related item that I observed here is that—at least in the case of the code here—the
"--no-dereference" command-line argument to diff perhaps might sometimes be
useful? There are symbolic links in the codebase, and if there are changes to source
during the compilation process and that source is also referenced by symbolic link(s)
elsewhere, the same file diffs being included multiple times via different symlink paths.
I think CYGWIN_NOWINPATH isn't having any effect in your workflow
On some further digging, this appears to be exactly the case. The script is detecting that Ruby is
installed in the runner, but that detected version is not the Cygwin build but instead one found at
"/c/hostedtoolcache/windows/Ruby/3.3.8/x64/bin/ruby". As a workaround, I then installed
the Cygwin build of Ruby on the GitHub runner, and then "cygport package" step completes
without issue.
Add any required RubyGems or packages to your cygport BUILD_REQUIRES to have
them preinstalled for your build - a comment saying why might be useful.
