I have integrated the two patches that revert the offending commit and re-built Perl and all XS modules (as well as openldap, as one of the server backends has an embedded perl interpreter). The updated Perl-5.30 repository is now available. Since I have not changed the release numbers, you'll have to dupe setup into "upgrading" all perl packages in your installation (alternatively you'd need to re-install all Perl related packages manually): --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- sed -i.bak -re 's/^(perl.*) .+ ([01])$/\1 \1-0-0.tar.bz \2/'\ /etc/setup/installed.db --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Any XS modules you have locally installed will need to be re-built as well or they would complain about a mismatched handshake key when trying to load their DLL. Please point setup.exe at: root=http://cygwin.stromeko.net/ $root/perl-5.30 The setup.xz 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: > keyart stromeko +-----[DSA 2048]----+ | ^. | | ^ . | | ^ E | | . . ^ : | |. . ^ : . | |.^ . ^.:S | | .. . :^. | |. .^ ^.^ | |. ^:.^ .. | | ^:... . | |.^ . | +-----[3152B1C3]----+ +-------------------+ | :X| | . ^^^| | : ..^| | . : .
