The Perl 5.32 test repository is now updated with the stage 2 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 initial testing of the 5.32 mainline, there is no
intention of releasing this version of Perl on Cygwin.  I'll just
replace any packages in the repo when I have to rework them for whatever
reason and keep the release number the same.  Expect a stage 3 bootstrap
round to be made available later this week.  There is no need to
re-create any packages you might already have updated using the stage 2
version.

Therefore, 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:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
sed -i.bak -re 's/( perl[-_]?.*-)[0-9.]+-[0-9]+\.tar/\10-0.tar/' /etc/setup/installed.db
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

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:
