[Attn. Maintainers] prepare your packages for release of perl-5.32

I tentatively plan to do the release some time towards the end of the
upcoming week.

Reminder: 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.

Please note that you need to manually insert a dependency on perl5_032
in addition to any dependencies to perl_base or perl into your packages
since the officially released cygport does not yet generate this extra
dependency.

The Perl 5.32 test repository is now updated with the (presumably) final
packages at:

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

including all Perl distributions that I maintain or co-maintain
(additionally on request: znc).  You can use this for preparation of
your 5.32 compatible packages, if you've used an earlier incarnation of
the repo that is OK too.

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:
