How does cygport upload work?
I previously uploaded with sftp but cygport apparently runs lftp and it asks me for a password.

This just seems to be a thing lftp does.

If the key isn't coming from ssh-agent, it always asks for a passphrase. If the key doesn't have one, you can just hit enter (or type anything).
OK, works. Can lftp or cygport be configured so that lftp does not ask for a password? Or to use sftp instead?

I don't know of any configuration for lftp to turn off that behaviour (which is arguably a defect in lftp), but that's probably something you could investigate for yourself.

I am not sure why lftp is used instead of sftp, possibly it is insufficiently scriptable to do what cygport wants to do.

Uploading the two Unicode packages, I got this response:

ERROR: package '/sourceware/cygwin-staging/home/Thomas Wolff/noarch/release/unicode-cldr' is not in the package list ERROR: package '/sourceware/cygwin-staging/home/Thomas Wolff/noarch/release/unicode-cldr/unicode-cldr-emoji-annotation' is not in the package list

Ah, right.

I've updated cygwin-pkg-maint and made the appropriate adjustment.

There still seems to be a problem with the form of the version number you've chosen, however.

I am not quite clear how unicode-cldr replaces unicode-cldr-emoji-annotation, if we have anything which requires it to build, since it doesn't appear to provide the .pc file that did.
