I'm happy to get them from the source packages. But I was asking how to manage build prerequisites. For example, perl-Data-Compare depends on perl-File-Find-Rule. So I have to build and install the latter before I can build the former. How do you handle this? I was assuming that you had written a script that helps with this. > Are there any new dependencies not yet in Cygwin? I don't think so, but I'll let you know. > Note that perl-5.26-RC1 is out now.
