Hi
Vala requires itself to build. I worked around when building the
gnome stratum by adding it manually to the staging filler from an
rpm. This isn't a long-term solution :)
What would be a better way to fix this? Add it to devel and build it
during the bootstrap strage? For reference, the vala-0.14 RPM I have
is 1.5MB - not huge, but not negligible either.
I wrote up the general principle we have for bootstrapping language
implementation:

This needs to be applied in a suitable way to Vala, probably by including
glib as a build dependency and including the generated C files from a
suitable Vala release tarball into a baserock/bootstrap branch, so we
can build things from scratch.
Damn all the hand-crafted unique snowflakes.
