Processing the .patch file in configure.com should not be a big
deal. We
already process it the old way when it just had the Perforce change
number
in it, so we just need to update that to do what make_patchnum.sh
does.
So ill assume it shouldn't be too difficult. :-)
It's done, I think:
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/9c3905ef054a16857454499c7acfa64d8373c309
We'll see how well that comes out in the wash as it was my first git
push attempt.
Since there is also no generally available rsync on VMS, the only
practical
way to stay current with blead is to generate your own snapshot on
a system
that does have rsync and/or git. If we haven't already done so, it
would be
nice to document the recommended procedure for generating a
snapshot. I
assume it involves running make_patchnum.sh followed but some
incantation of
git --archive.
If its useful I will take that onto myself. Meaning i will put some
effort into making .tar.gz snapshots available for you. Please let me
know what else i can do to make things easier for the VMS people.
I will also look into producting documentation how to do so.
Thanks.
