I have problems fetching my mail the last two hours so I don't know
if Nicholas already announced that he has finished mirroring, so I
thought I tell you anyway, the mirror is up again and you can point
setup.exe to http://today.clemson.edu/cygwin in addition to the below
mentioned URL.

> The first Cygwin release of the second perl-5.8 release candidate is
> available for testing.
> ==
> Fetch the Cygwin version here:
> http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/perl/
> Or point setup.exe to http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin
> ==
> I linked this version against Berkeley DB 4.0.14, you want to rebuild
> Perl from source yourself if you want it without DB4, with DB3 instead
> of DB4, or you need to install DB 4 too:
> http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/db/
> Or point setup.exe to http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin
> (Should work with an existing DB 4 installation too)
> REALLY IMPORTANT:
> =================
> DB4 is not yet available as Cygwin package but this is the version
> that will be released in a few days, so this is also a release
> candidate just like Perl. This new DB4 package is split up in three
> packages, db which includes just docu, libdb4.0 which includes the
> dll's and the executables and libdb4.0-devel which includes the
> importlibs and headers.

> Please take some minutes to read the Perl RC2 announcement
> http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/perl/perl-5.8.0-RC2.html
> while you fetch the binary or source or all tarballs.
> Perl-5.8.0-RC2:
> http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/perl/perl-5.8.0-RC2-1-src.tar.bz2
> http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/perl/perl-5.8.0-RC2-1.tar.bz2
> DB-4.0.14:
> http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/db/db-4.0.14-4-src.tar.bz2

> NOTE:
> =====
> The server in Cologne has only limited bandwidth (144kbit), so if
> someone is able to fetch the tarballs and can provide a mirror
> please do so and tell us about the URL in reply to this mail,
> others please watch out for replies with mirror offerings and please

> =====
> The Cygwin Perl source package contains the original source tarball:
> The size of the original source file is 10913451 bytes and the MD5
> checksum for the file is
> 8921b99874bf4b1daba7daba3ff70e4a perl-5.8.0-RC2.tgz
> ==
> If you want to build from source and have already downloaded
> the original tarball you may fetch just my build scripts
> (see URL in the RC2 Announcement to fetch original Perl, link above):
> My scripts:
> ===========
> http://koeln.convey.de/cywgin/perl/perl-5.8.0-RC2-scripts.tgz
> Use my scripts:
> ===============
> - unpack it in an empty directory together with the RC2 tarball
> - call ./build.sh to ./Configure, make and install perl-5.8.0-RC2
> - modify the script if you don't want to install it or if you want
> other flags or: look into the script and execute the various
> commands manually
> - the makepkg.sh script is for making dist tarballs, please note
> that this will also install Perl into the final location and will
> clobber your existing perl.exe et. al.
> ==
> Please test extensively.
> Your help in testing the upcoming perl 5.8.0 is much appreciated.
> ==
> The Cygwin Perl RC2 source tarball contains also my buildlogs.
> `make test' passes all tests without failure: All tests successful.
> There are two tests failing for me today in the perl harness run...
> alarm.t fails randomly, openpid.t is failing cause I don't know...
> Failed 2/708 test scripts, 99.72% okay. 2/64979 subtests failed, 100.00% okay.
> Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed
> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
> io/openpid.t 10 1 10.00% 8
> op/alarm.t 4 1 25.00% 2
> It should be possible to get harness test runs without failings.
> ==
> And:
> ====
> THIS IS A REAL NEW PERL RELEASE THAT IS BINARY INCOMPATIBLE WITH ANY
> PREVIOUS PERL RELEASE. THIS MEANS THAT YOUR OLD EXTENSIONS (.xs code,
> those Perl modules requiring a C compiler) WILL NOT WORK AND WILL HAVE
> TO BE RECOMPILED. (Pure Perl modules should continue working.)
> INSTALLING THIS PERL RELEASE WILL OVERWRITE YOUR CURRENT PERL RELEASE.
> (For example, /usr/bin/perl will become Perl 5.8.0.)
> DO NOT INSTALL THIS INTO PRODUCTION USE UNLESS YOU REALLY MEAN IT.
> ====
> I got also this note during Storable compilation which may be of
> additional interest:
> You appear to have a perl configured to use 64 bit integers in its
> scalar variables. If you have existing data written with an earlier
> version of Storable which this version of Storable refuses to load
> with a
> Byte order is not compatible
> error, then please read the section "64 bit data in perl 5.6.0 and
> 5.6.1" in the Storable documentation for instructions on how to read
> your data.
> (You can find the documentation at the end of Storable.pm in POD
