Updating cygwin "libnfs" package ?

[Roland Mainz]

Hi!

----

Is it possible to update the Cygwin "libnfs" package, please ?

The current Cygwin "libnfs" version is rather old (per
https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-packages/libnfs/log/ last updated in
2016-11-16) and has a couple of NFSv4-related bugs, for example:
-------- snip --------
$ nfs-ls.exe "nfs://derfwnb4966_ipv6linklocal/net_tmpfs2?version=4"
Failed to mount nfs share : mount/mnt call failed with "Server
responded: Program version mismatch"
-------- snip --------

Building the current version from https://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs
with Cygwin 3.6.0-0.99.g290843bbdab6.x86_64 is easy:
$ git clone https://github.com/sahlberg/libnfs.gi
# apply this patch:

$  autoreconf
$  ./configure --without-libkrb5 --enable-utils
$  make all

After that "nfs-ls" works:
---- snip ----
$ ./utils/nfs-ls.exe
"nfs://derfwnb4966_ipv6linklocal/net_tmpfs2?version=4"

Bye,
