Q3: What kind of external access is typically used for hosting final
builds? I've run a micro-ISP that allowed on-request FTP access, by IP
address, to customers, but have not needed to run anonymous FTP to this

Does HTTP and/or HTTPS access need to be provided?
Upload instructions:
https://sourceware.org/cygwin-apps/package-upload.html
D'oh, users download source packages from cygwin.com, of course.
I was confused by the SRC_URI= line in cygutils.cygport. Does that
merely indicate where this package came from at the time the .cygport
file was written, or does it denote a commitment by the maintainer to
continue hosting the package from that URI? If the latter, that's why I
was asking
about access methods. Is SRC_URI required?
It is required by Cygport to build the package, but it can
be a dummy one.
SRC_URI=URL/package
just tell cygport to unpack "package" if already in the
working directory.
It can be used to download the package if not available.
cygutils is a cygwin only package, so in this case the upstream
source is in the package itself, there is no real distinction.
I do not see the strict need to have a a working URL,
but you can choose as you prefer.
If you want it, cygport supports http, ftp and more.
