Hi, I was trying to update mono to the current release version. The build step as documented actually says to download a minimal C# compiler from the mono site which is then used to compile the rest of the source to build the full system. I looked and did not find the source of this minimal compiler--so it is a black box in a way.
In free software it is ideal to build everything from source. I wonder how is such a package handled in Guix? What is the strategy for bootstrapping? Thanks (msg sent to help-guix first but this list may be more appropriate)
