That's an explanation and some possibilities for why there may be delays for a

If you download the source package, update the .cygport file to the latest
upstream version, and you can:
$ cygport pkg.cygport download all tests
and you feel confident, you can install with:
$ tar -xf pkg-ver-?.x86{_64}/dist/pkg/pkg-ver-?.tar.xz -C /
