3.1.2 had a bootstrapping problem which resulted on it failing to build by default on multilib amd64/i386 systems if both the 32bit and 64bit versions of the dependencies (libapr, confuse) were installed. 3.1.4 used the same bootstrapping than 3.1.1 and so was IMHO better, but because there were multiple 3.1.4 packages is probably difficult to know which one was validated, and that was AFAIK one of the reasons why it wasn't eventually released. > b) should the choice of bootstrap environment be locked for all 3.1.X, > and only changed when increasing the minor version number (e.g. when we > go from 3.1 to 3.2)? no, but since our build systems is full of hacks and not completely reliable it might be a good idea to test no issues are introduced when looking at a new version. > c) what environment should be used to bootstrap 3.2.X/trunk? the same than 3.1 so that all improvements in the build system will be tested there and then backported for stability. > d) Can anyone volunteer to provide a stable bootstrap environment (e.g. > a virtual server) just for Ganglia? Two such environments may be > needed, one for trunk and one for the current release branch. Matt did offer an EC2 instance if we could agree on an OS version : http://www.mail-archive.com/ganglia-developers@lists.sourceforge.net/msg05271.html I suggested Debian 5.0 (more conservative) or Fedora 12 (to be updated more frequently) but as far as it is agreed, documented and reproducible anything should work.
