I am working on a spec file for MLton, a compiler for Standard ML. http://mlton.org/ Like compilers for C, Java, and Haskell, this SML compiler requires a binary version of itself to compile. I've looked over the situation from last year regarding ghc: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-February/msg00387.html http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-May/msg00450.html It looks like the solution was to provide a special one-time source package with binaries for all 3 platforms inside. Is this still the preferred solution? I have the spec file all worked out with "BuildRequires: mlton", but I can make this kind of bootstrap package if necessary. Alternatively, I can provide initial binary packages that could be injected into the repository. I built these on ppc and i386 using the binary packages from Debian. (MLton will soon, but doesn't yet, support x86_64.) For reference, I have put my current work here: http://www.spicenitz.org/fedora/mlton.spec http://www.spicenitz.org/fedora/mlton-20051202-1.src.rpm Thanks for any advice. Adam
