You're right. I was misremembering. After bootstrap, you have to do a selfupdate to get anything beyond the handful of core packages, but it's a separate command. >> (i.e. not even have an option since cvs will be deprecated and point >> is obsolete), and after bootstrap the user can install the git package >> and switch to selfupdate-git? > > And how do they do this without a package description? I had meant that they can get one by selfupdate-rsync. The point I was missing is that the users you had in mind were behind firewalls that don't allow rsync. Such users need some way to do their first selfupdate, after which they can install a range of packages.
