findutils 4.6.0-1
------------------------------------------
The findutils package contains programs which will help you locate
files on your system. The find utility searches through a hierarchy
of directories looking for files which match a certain set of criteria
(such as a filename pattern). The xargs utility builds and executes
command lines from standard input arguments (usually lists of file
names generated by the find command). The locate utility scans a
database of filenames and displays matches. The updatedb utility
builds the database for locate.
Runtime requirements (these or newer):
bash-4.3.42-4
coreutils-8.25-1
cygwin-2.4.1-1
libgcc1-5.3.0-3 [only needed on 32-bit]

cd /usr/src
cygport findutils.cygport all
This will create:
/usr/src/findutils-4.6.0-1.tar.xz
/usr/src/findutils-4.6.0-1-src.tar.xz
/usr/src/findutils-debuginfo/findutils-debuginfo-4.6.0-1.tar.xz
Or use 'cygport findutils.cygport prep' to get a patched source directory
