By definition if they need to be manually bootstrapped it's because their build dependencies are not available. The usual cases for that are a set of NEW packages, existing packages for new architectures, or for existing architectures where those packages have never built before. Take mig on kfreebsd-i386 as an example. To build it we'd first need to unpack gnumach, manually run “debian/rules build/config.status” and “make -C build install-data” to just install the headers. Then unpack mig, remove gnumach-dev from the Build-Depends, build and install the new mig.deb. Now we can build a clean gnumach, and install the resulting gnumach-dev. And finally just to make sure, we rebuild a clean mig (and possibly a cleaner gnumach with the clean mig). We've just bootstrapped mig ang gnumach on kfreebsd-i386. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
