Thank you for reviewing, Achim.


Both of pkg_pkg.cygpart and pkg_upload.cygpart are called from cygport
https://github.com/cygwin-lem/cygport/blob/7ae236b524fa5f5b27f9773cdf21ee4f6624a53b/bin/cygport.in#L325-L331

before the functions are called.
https://github.com/cygwin-lem/cygport/blob/7ae236b524fa5f5b27f9773cdf21ee4f6624a53b/bin/cygport.in#L561-L565



But, probably, configuration like this should go to a more suitable
place, as written in comments (in order to avoid concerning which you
have pointed out)
https://github.com/cygwin-lem/cygport/blob/7ae236b524fa5f5b27f9773cdf21ee4f6624a53b/lib/pkg_pkg.cygpart#L23-L24

For example, it might be placed in this part
https://github.com/cygwin-lem/cygport/blob/7ae236b524fa5f5b27f9773cdf21ee4f6624a53b/bin/cygport.in#L249-L274
