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.
