upstream advise page about circular dependencies (bootstrapping)
Hi,
it's the third time now that I'd like to write a mail to an upstream project
and kindly ask them not to depend on themselves to build. It would be helpful
to have a page like the UpstreamGuide[1] that shortly explains why it is
undesirable for distributions or in general if a software needs itself to
build.
The DebianBootstrap page[2] in the wiki is not short and general enough for
this purpose.
[1] http://wiki.debian.org/UpstreamGuide
[2] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianBootstrap
It would be nice if such a page could be initiated by people mostly affected
by circular dependencies.
Regards,
