Adding something to bootstrap-tools implies that we can't use the installed miniperl (backward compatibility problem) or the host doesn't have miniperl. The bootstrap-tools built miniperl would then be used throughout the build and install stages. Note that bootstrap-tools are built (and installed under /obj) to be run on the host. This means that miniperl is going to be built a second time for the target architecture. The bootstrap-tools stage is designed to solve incompatibilities caused by versions of tools installed on the system and the requirements (for newer ones) by the source-tree. -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
