Re^11: Math::Pari patch for 5.10.0by syphilis (Archbishop) |

Please read the rsync manual Why should I bother doing that when 'perldoc perlhack' explicitly told me what I had to run ? (Actually, the '.' you quoted from my post was just a "full stop" - not part of the command that I actually ran.) Needless to say, when I run the command exactly as you suggested it works fine :-) I can now see that the command I ran simply downloaded the list of files - but not the actual files, themselves. The (what-I-presume-to-be-successful) download terminates with: Not sure of the effect of that error message - I'll find out tomorrow when I try to build perl-5.11.0 (and Math-Pari, if perl-5.11.0 builds ok) - and I'll report back. It's now nearly 1.30am over here (and I was up at 3am yesterday morning) ... 7.5 hours of shit is enough for me for one night :-) Thanks to ysth, BrowserUk and haoess. Cheers, Rob
