Difficult when there are a plethora of global mirrors in
/etc/setup/setup.rc, https://cygwin.com/mirrors.html, and
https://cygwin.com/mirrors-report.html e.g. [for me]
https://mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/mirror/cygwin.com/x86_64/release/gettext/…
https://muug.ca/mirror/cygwin/x86_64/release/gettext/…
https://mirrors.kernel.org/sourceware/cygwin/x86_64/release/gettext/…
and source packages:
…/x86_64/release/gettext/gettext-0.22.3-1-src.hint
…/x86_64/release/gettext/gettext-0.22.3-1-src.tar.xz
…/x86_64/release/gettext/gettext-0.22.4-1-src.hint
…/x86_64/release/gettext/gettext-0.22.4-1-src.tar.xz
…/x86_64/release/gettext/gettext-0.22.5-1-src.hint
…/x86_64/release/gettext/gettext-0.22.5-1-src.tar.xz
As with the GNU https://ftpmirror.gnu.org/ mirrors, you just have to know your
way around the tree, or the setup.ini contents e.g.
$ awk 'BEGIN{RS="\n\n@ ";FS="\n";};/^gettext\n/' ~/mirror/x86_64/setup.ini
gettext

Take care. Thanks, Brian Inglis Calgary, Alberta, Canada
