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).
