I've cleaned up the patches so they still apply on top of 5.32.0 where
applicable and built the initial packages. For the rest I'll have to
set up one of my old build machines as I don't want to move my main
build box from the official state (which would mean I could no longer
update other packages).
I ended up creating a completely new build environment and staging
repository on that machine. I have completed the stage-1 bootstrap,
when I have reviewed the build logs for (new) errors I'll start the
stage-2 bootstrap. That'll take about a bit on that machine, but I
should get a repo that I can upload for your tests out of it.
The Perl 5.32 test repository is now up at:
root=http://cygwin.stromeko.net/
$root/perl-5.32
including all Perl distributions that I maintain or co-maintain. This
is purely for initial testing of the 5.32 mainline, there is no
intention of releasing this version of Perl on Cygwin. Once the first
maintenance update becomes available in January (if everything comes
together as planned), I'll just start over. I'll also just replace any
packages in the repo when I have to rework them for whatever reason.
Therefore, don't expect to be able to update installations with these
packages installed without manual intervention. I recommend to use
either a throwaway installation or having a full backup of the original
installation.
Thanks very much! It worked fine for building biber.
