From http://cygwin.com/lists.html:

"cygwin: a high volume list for discussion of just about all things
Cygwin-related. If you have questions about how to use Cygwin, or if you
have cygwin-specific (see above) questions about the UNIX tools (bash, gcc,
make, etc.) that come with Cygwin, this is the list for you. There is one
exception to the "all things cygwin" nature of this list: questions about
the Cygwin/XFree86 project (or any X-related questions for cygwin) should go
to the cygwin-xfree mailing list (see below)."

I don't see RPM (which BTW is a RedHat invention) excluded. This is a "how
to use Cygwin" question, IMHO. Why the harsh reaction? Ignorance is never a
virtue.

There's a RPM list at https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list.

Try also http://groups.google.com/groups?oi=djq&as_ugroup=linux.redhat.rpm.

In case anybody cares and promises to figure things out by themselves (i.e.,
do not hassle this list), here are a few hints:

Assuming you mean that you're looking for RPM of Cygwin and it's packages,
the answer is - I don't know.  Keep in mind, if you do find RPM versions
for Cygwin, this list doesn't recognize them and any issues regarding 
their performance is off-topic.

If you're looking for an RPM of some other software package, I suggest 
searching the internet.  Of course, further discussion along this line is
off-topic for this list as well.  This list is for questions/discussions of
Cygwin and its packages as distributed by Red Hat.
