Most bootstrapping scenarios that I'm aware of are essentially: PackageB needs an updated PackageA to build, but PackageA also needs an updated PackageB to build. PackageA can be bootstrapped (by building it in some special manner, such as from a prebuilt upstream binary), allowing PackageB to be built and then rebuilding PackageA with the updated PackageB. In the scenario I'm discussing, we would take those final PackageA and PackageB from Fedora and have them in the buildroot for the ELN builds. That would mean that the bootstrap step wouldn't be needed. If there's a case you know of that this won't work for, I'd really like to hear it (preferably with real package names). _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
