Thanks very much! It worked fine for building biber.
Did you encounter any problems with setup, provided you started with an
installation that already has the 5.30 Perl installed? Since I use my
own local repository and setup.ini that only contains the packages I am
going to install I can't really test that scenario, although I noticed
that "Sync" does produce a very strange solution the first time around
and I have to cycle through "Keep" and "Best" for it to settle on just
upgrading Perl and not removing half of the rest of the system.
I used a test installation that had 5.30 installed but didn't have all the Perl
distributions that I needed for building Biber. I never had occasion to use
"Sync"; I just installed missing packages. Sometimes I ran setup with your repo
in addition to a regular mirror, and sometimes just with yours. I ran it
several times until I had everything I needed.
The only small glitch that I encountered was when upgrading perl-Algorithm-Diff.
The version in your test repo was 1.201 instead of 1.2010, so setup didn't
recognize it as being newer than the installed version (1.9xxx).
