I just finished extending the `--with bootstrap` support for rawhide glibc (rawhide glibc is FTBS right now, but that's another reason). The goal is to provide RCM and others in Fedora with the ability to experiment with bootstraps using the standard set of rpm tooling. When bootstrap is active we now: - No documentation. (--without docs) - No more dependencies on texinfo in this case. - Skip Valgrind smoke tests. (--without valgrind) - Rely on normal regression tests only. - Drop SELinux support - No dependency on SELinux. - Remember this is a bootstrap, so we allow some flexibility to be less secure. In this case it only impacts nscd. - Drop NSS Crypt support - Bootstrapping will never get us FIPS compliance so we drop NSS Crypt support and fall back to the normal crypt routines. - Disable the use of -Werror (--without werror) - This prevents build failure due to newer compiler or other dependent headers. and lastly... - Disable building microbenchmarks. (--without benchtests) - The microbenchmark binary subpackage that can be used to do comparitive runs is disabled. I encourage others to continue to support `--with bootstrap`, particularly in the low-level tools. At present our stage1 Fedora boostrap scripts use custom recipies, but if we continue to extend `--with bootstrap` it may be possible to support this entirely within the normal set of rpm tooling. Comments welcome.
