Thanks for the pointers. In: https://cygwin.com/git/?p=cygwin-htdocs.git;a=blob;f=packaging-package-files.html;hb=HEAD below, do you have a current URL for: https://sourceware.org/viewvc/cygwin-apps/packaging/templates/generic-readme?view=co 161 <li>In your binary package, you may choose to include a file 162 /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/foo-vendor-suffix.README containing (at a minimum) the 163 information needed for an end user to recreate the package. This includes 164 CFLAGS settings, configure parameters, etc. (You can 165 adapt <a href="https://sourceware.org/viewvc/cygwin-apps/packaging/templates/generic-readme?view=co";>this 166 generic README</a>.) 167 </li> as I have tried some possible alternatives with the same result i.e. Forbidden You don't have permission to access /viewvc/cygwin-apps/packaging/templates/generic-readme on this server. e.g. http://sourceware.org/cvsweb.cgi/packaging/templates/generic-readme -- Take care.
