Thanks for the pointers.
In:
https://cygwin.com/git/?p=cygwin-htdocs.git;a=blob;f=packaging-package-files.html;hb=HEAD
below, do you have a current URL for:
https://sourceware.org/viewvc/cygwin-apps/packaging/templates/generic-readme?view=co
161 <li>In your binary package, you may choose to include a file
162 /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/foo-vendor-suffix.README containing (at a
minimum) the
163 information needed for an end user to recreate the package. This includes
164 CFLAGS settings, configure parameters, etc. (You can
165 adapt <a
href="https://sourceware.org/viewvc/cygwin-apps/packaging/templates/generic-readme?view=co">this
166 generic README</a>.)
167 </li>
as I have tried some possible alternatives with the same result i.e.
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access
/viewvc/cygwin-apps/packaging/templates/generic-readme on this server.
e.g.
http://sourceware.org/cvsweb.cgi/packaging/templates/generic-readme
