Hi guys,
A recent bug report from Debian package managers (see
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Status=Resolved;Name=Math-MPFR)
ultimately alerted me to the fact that they are providing packages for a
number of architectures that offer the 113-bit precision long doubles.
Those architectures include alpha, arm64, mips64el and s390x.
They weren't actually providing any -Duselongdouble builds of perl for those
machines - which strikes me as being rather boringly unadventurous.
Does anyone here happen to know if it's at all likely that I'd be able to
purchase, second hand (and at a reasonable price), such a machine somewhere
in Melbourne ?
If so, where ?
Or are these machines likely to be expensive ? (This is a whim that doesn't
justify the spending of big money.)
My ebay/gumtree/google-fu went missing tonight - all I can find is offers
for iPads, Dell computers, or Acer laptops (mostly new).
Even a link that puts me in the right ballpark would suffice - assuming that
such a ballpark exists.
Thoughts welcome !!
Cheers,
Rob
