Color me dense, but if the only way to build it is with the current version, how does one ever bootstrap the initial binary? Could this "complex manual process" not be represented in debian/rules for a full bootstrap (without a self-referential build-dep) on every upload, much like the GCC suite tends to do?
If I'm going to have to do manual builds on every new upstream release, I'm more likely to just request that we remove this package from the archive entirely, as this is just infeasible. -- Build-Depends dependency for cmucl cannot be satisfied (circular build-depends; needs manual bootstrapping on the buildd) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/31098 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
