Ok,
fair enough, just highlight the problem in the announcement.

You are the new maintainer
Congratulation.

build a local site and use genini to build the setup.ini
https://sourceware.org/viewvc/cygwin-apps/genini/

For example I use a structure like

http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86/setup.bz2
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86/setup.ini
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86/iperf/iperf-2.0.5-1-src.tar.xz
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86/iperf/iperf-2.0.5-1.tar.xz
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86/iperf/iperf-debuginfo/iperf-debuginfo-2.0.5-1.tar.xz
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86/iperf/iperf-debuginfo/setup.hint
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86/iperf/setup.hint

http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86_64/setup.bz2
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86_64/setup.ini
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86_64/iperf/iperf-2.0.5-1-src.tar.xz
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86_64/iperf/iperf-2.0.5-1.tar.xz
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86_64/iperf/iperf-debuginfo/iperf-debuginfo-2.0.5-1.tar.xz
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86_64/iperf/iperf-debuginfo/setup.hint
http%3a%2f%2fmatzeri.altervista.org%2f/x86_64/iperf/setup.hint

and a script like
-----------------------------------------
rm x86/setup.ini x86_64/setup.ini

genini --recursive x86_64 > x86_64/setup.ini
bzip2 -k -c x86_64/setup.ini > x86_64/setup.bz2

genini --recursive x86 > x86/setup.ini
bzip2 -k -c x86/setup.ini > x86/setup.bz2
-----------------------------------------


see "setup-x86.exe --help"
how to install locally from your local site.
