Thank you for the clarifications. I thought there could be something
with rsync and cyg...@cygwin.com, but it might be a nuisance to
administer properly, to prevent some crazy slurping "by mistake" or
read access where one should not read.

not found").
wget https://cygwin.com/cgit/cygwin-infra/pkg-maint/plain/cygwin-pkg-maint
awk '{print $1}' cygwin-pkg-maint | grep "^[a-z]" > pkgs
while read p;
do git clone --depth=1 git://cygwin.com/git/cygwin-packages/${p};
sleep 6; #have a nice day
done < pkgs
