This isn't directly a Debian packaging question, but it's related, and it may at some point in the future become a packaging question.
I'm taking on maintainership of a very large and gnarly project, a compiler toolchain. Parts of the toolchain need other parts to build. Some parts require *themselves* to build. For example, there's a Bison-like parser generator called llgen whose input scripts are parsed using an llgen-generated parser. How does Debian deal with packages like this? I need to replace the build mechanism (the current one is being problematic), and as one day I'd like to make a Debian package of all of this, I want something that's Debian-friendly. Is there any better way of going about it than to just check a pre-built version of the parser into CVS? -- +- David Given --McQ-+ "I smell a rat; I see him forming in the air & | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | darkening the sky; but I'll nip him in the bud." | ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | --- Sir Boyle Roche +- www.cowlark.com --+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
