Better plan: when uploaded, calm will rename a setup.hint file to pvr.hint. (If the appropriate pvr cannot be determined (from the name of tar files in the same directory), or the setup.hint contains lines which aren't valid in a pvr.hint, the upload will fail) I deployed an update to calm today which does this. (It also has some preliminary support for depends:, obsoletes:, build-depends: hints, along with some cosmetic fixes) >>>> This is approximately one year after the cygport release [1] which, stopped >>>> generating these files, so if you're using cygport >= 0.23.0, no action is >>>> needed. >>>> >>>> Warnings that you need to upgrade cygport have been generated for more than >>>> 6 months [2]. >>>> >>>> After setup.hint uploads are disabled, any remaining setup.hint in the >>>> cygwin release on sourceware.org will be migrated to pvr.hint(s), as per >>>> [3]. >>>> >>>> [1] https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2016-11/msg00078.html >>>> [2] https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2017-04/msg00024.html >>>> [3] https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2016-09/msg00025.html >>> >>> I'm still generating setup.hint files for the Cygwin package itself. >>> >>> Please have a look into cygwin's cygport file.

I'll hold off on doing anything further until we've had some successes with the cygwin package to show this is working to your satisfaction. (I haven't yet started on writing a tool to do the migration, in any case)
