ntfs-3g-2026.9.28

[Bruce Dubbs]

New dated version.

Change URL to ​https://tuxera.com/opensource/ntfs-3g_ntfsprogs-2026.9.28.tgz

Should not need ./autogen.sh, but that has not been tested yet.

[Bruce Dubbs]

There is an issue that this package may need libgcrypt. Need to evaluate this. It may be a required dependency or an optional dependency.

[Joe Locash]

Is there a reason to change the download URL? The tarball on tuxera extracts to a directory different from the name. For changes the NEWS file also points to the github repo.

It does look like libgcrypt is required, but I'll confirm.

Using the tuxera does not require autogen.sh and is the recommended download location. See ​https://github.com/tuxera/ntfs-3g/releases/tag/2026.9.28

It doesn't say it's recommended location but no problem.

libgcrypt is only needed if --enable-crypto is passed to configure. It's easiest, and probably better, to make that the default so I'll add it to configure and add libgcrypt as required.

OK. Most users probably already have libgcrypt by the time they build ntfs anyway. But perhaps recommended because it is not, strictly speaking, 'required'.
