Please prepare your packages for the release of perl-5.32 and report on
this list about their status.  The one package that I intend to wait for
the release is subversion-perl, everything else either is under my
maintenance already or can be updated slightly later without too much
disturbance based on the last two updates of Perl.


The Perl 5.32 test repository is now updated with the stage 3 bootstrap
packages at:

root=http://cygwin.stromeko.net/
$root/perl-5.32

including all Perl distributions that I maintain or co-maintain.  This
is purely for preparation of your 5.32 compatible packages.  While I
will most likely have another bootstrap round, there is no need to
rebuild any dependent packages if you built them with either the stage 1
or stage 2 packages.

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.  If you want to re-install into an existing installation,
you can make setup do that by issuing:

sed -i.bak -re 's/( perl[-_]?.*-)[0-9.]+-[0-9]+\.tar/\10-0.tar/' /etc/setup/installed.db

The setup.ini is signed with my PGP key available at $root/stromeko.gpg,
which you can download and then feed to setup.exe via the -K switch.
The fingerprint of that key is:

      B22B 4890 B89E 5E5A 795C  E305 B40B EC75 3152 B1C3

If you have the keyart script (Python, you can just download from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/atoponce/keyart/master/keyart), this
is what you should see after importing the key into your public keyring:
