# NOTES ON BOOTSTRAPING PYTHON 3.6:
#
# Due to dependency cycle between Python, gdb, rpm, pip, setuptools and

# Due to a dependency cycle between Python, gdb, rpm, pip, setuptools, wheel,

# 1) gdb without python support (add %%global _without_python 1 on top of gdb's SPEC file)
# 2) python3 with with_rewheel set to 0
# 3) gdb with python support (remove %%global _without_python 1 on top of gdb's SPEC file)
# 4) rpm
# 5) python-setuptools with bootstrap set to 1
# 6) python-pip with build_wheel set to 0
# 7) python-wheel with %%bcond_without bootstrap
# 8) python-setuptools with bootstrap set to 0 and also with_check set to 0

# Then the most important packages have to be built, starting from their various leaf dependencies
# recursively. After these have been built, a targeted rebuild should be requested for the rest.
# Currently these packages are recommended to have been built before a targeted rebuild after a python abi change:
# python-sphinx, pytest, python-requests, cloud-init, dnf, anaconda, abrt.
