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].
