Hi,

Sorry, if this message is a little bit out of order, I only just
subscribed to the pacman-dev group.

I want to raise the issue of bootstrapping:
- automake, autoconf, libtool and friends need m4 and perl and bash
- meson needs python

Bootstrapping m4 and perl is comparatively easy to bootstrapping python.

Porting to other architectures is easier if there are not too many
dependencies.

See also my experiments here:

https://git.archlinux32.org/archlinux32/bootstrap32

and some porting work from oaken-source (Parabola):

Cheers

Andreas
