You're welcome.  I hope the build isn't missing anything.  We'll see.

Appreciate the auth clearing-up before I had a chance to report :).  I'm 
now working on getting this build recipe into the Cygwin Packages repo.

The scallywag-run build is failing with the following error:

> Submodule 'fedora' (git://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/rpms/qt5-qtbase.git) registered for path 'fedora'

Maybe a different URL is required these days; haven't dug into that yet. 
  My issue is that commenting out the "FEDORA=<url>" line in the cygport 
file (which is different from the git: url on first line of quote above) 
doesn't improve the situation.  BTW There are in-repo copies of all the 
patches that would be fetched from fedoraproject.org.  I don't know why 
these copies are in the repo; I should maybe ask Achim.

The jobs are 10801 for the original attempt, and 10802 for the attempt 
commenting out the Fedora url.  The error logs appear identical.

Thanks for any leads on this from anybody reading.
