Not exactly.

setup uses whatever you use when you name the .cygport file.

I did this:

mv gendef-1.0~svn2931-1.cygport       gendef-1.0_svn2931-2.cygport
mv gendef-1.0~svn2931-1.cygwin.patch  gendef-1.0_svn2931-2.cygwin.patch
mv gendef-1.0~svn2931-1.src.patch     gendef-1.0_svn2931-2.src.patch

cygport ./gendef-1.0_svn2931-2.cygport get
cygport ./gendef-1.0_svn2931-2.cygport all

and it behaved exactly as you would expect.

I repeated the experiment with a hyphen rather than an underscore, and
that worked just fine, too.  All that appears to matter is that the
separator character between "1.0" and "svnNNNN" is not a digit or
decimal point. (For all I know, a decimal point would work too, but I'll
leave that as an exercise for the student...)
