That is not a proper bootstrap process ala Bootstrappable Builds. https://bootstrappable.org/ Is the code that generates the C code possible to run without V built yet? If so I suggest that you run that code from the Debian package build. If not, personally I would not add V to Debian yet. > What is the proper way to get the source? Jonas' suggestion of using uscan to get tarballs of the git branch seems reasonable. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
