I propose that calm will stop accepting uploads containing setup.hint some

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].

I'm still generating setup.hint files for the Cygwin package itself.
Please have a look into cygwin's cygport file. Do we have an *easy*
replacement for creating test releases from cygport in the meantime?
Ideally I can simply call cygport with a --test parameter or some such
to create a test release.
