This is a bit tricky. Theoretically, you are supposed to bootstrap from an installed version (IOW, a self-depdency). However, several packages (Ocaml, for instance) bootstrap from blobs. In case of source code generators, it's also common to ship the processed source files. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
