Hi,
Would anyone be angry at me if I bootstrapped a package by encapsulating
a binary rpm into srpm, importing it in CVS, building, and then
rebuilding against itself?
(The package in question is OpenJDK, which will be ready in a few days;
hopefully one or two. It needs either itself or gcj 1.5.0 to build, and
currently we only have gcj 1.4.2).
Hmmm.. I do not know enough about standards and procedures to say if I
would be angry. If its ok with Jesse or Mike McGrath I would say ok.
In either case, make sure you capture the steps in a bugzilla or some
sort of 'issue-tracker' so if we need to revisit or recreate its
covered.
