bootstrap

This repository is a collection of scripts and notes pertaining to the activity of building self-hosting software without said software.

Each directory tells a story, about love, hate, persistence and insanity, and countless wasted hours watching software compile over and over again. If you thought running Gentoo was bad, well, this might just be considerably worse. Some bootstraps are trivial, others just need a full 24 hours to build, and others are involved with a ton of steps. There's a bit of everything in here.

There's no substantial reason for this repository existing, other than the fact that this problem is solveable for a lot of software fascinates me from a crummy software engineering perspective, and I'm apparently not the only person. Check out the nutcases over at Bootstrappable and GuixSD for better insight into the issue.
