Hello, I have been trying my first go at building starlink from source duing
a cloudy night on the NTT. It seems to hang during the bootstrap stage, the
next parts show what I tried to
do to recover things -- I have added the odd comment preceded by -----

------ starting from the end of my first bootstrap run:

got e14cfd30ddef26da926068bb9c0a5b22ae84163b
                         
got 03ef2a2c6bf90a02a9e223d67e38099463de8990

^CERROR: failed to update a submodule
                         


----- I killed it here after it had hung for an age (>30 mins) ...

The './update-modules' script has failed to complete.

is able to download submodules. Note you can just run the
'./update-modules' command directly while checking the problem.

--- then I had another go with bootstrap -----

------ and it has ground to a halt here. A 'ps aux' shows
a process

git-clone -n http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git thirdparty/perlsys/perl/perl

which is getting nowehere slowly. I will be ctrl-C'ing soon or I won't be
able to get to bed.

This is on openSUSE11.1, 64-bit on my laptop, but I am not sure this is the
issue as I have not really got out of the starting blocks
