Provided that we find a version of yacc that doesn't choke on the grammar files. Also, we got an uncertain road ahead for Valas before 0.35.1, and then vala 0.39.6 did a dirty bump in which they rely on a practically unreleased version. So yes, the archeological approach could work, but I wouldn't necessarily count on it being "easy". Cheers

Looking at the vala source code, we can bootstrap the current version from 0.39.5.8, which appears to be between release cycles – 0.39.6 already requires it, whereas 0.39.5 bootstraps from 0.25.1. I'm not sure how to get 0.25.1 to build from source, though. The code in vala- bootstrap does not appear helpful, it in fact reads exactly like Vala- compiled Vala. Cheers I've now hosted my own vala-bootstrap [1], which has valacompiler.c and gee translated to more readable C already. I'd be happy to take in patches or transfer it to the bootstrappable project. Cheers [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/lilyp/vala-bootstrap An easier route to bootstrap Vala could be the archeological approach: Oldest commit(SVN import): 68f95ffe3aef82aac0fb7bbc65d1faab19902e3c Last commit with only C code(except for tests written in Vala): c300d9c3d0af08f628b6c260bdd32f431a47e0f2 Became self-hosting(it still bootstraps with written C code under valac/): 29a1dec53a4661779cc819ede69732c6c1118088 Removed bootstrappability(removed valac/ directory and uses Vala-generated C code under ccode/): 35bd6909ba2b8467ba95dfe6360e7a7e227115c8 Oldest release: VALA_0_0_1 This information should make it possible to bootstrap Vala.

Will you send patches to use it to bootstrap our vala in Guix? -- Thanks, Maxim

Hi, Our vala packages bundle themselves via bundled bootstrap binaries. When I asked in #vala on the irc.gnome.org, I was pointed to https://gitlab.gnome.org/ricotz/vala-bootstrap as a possible solution. Thanks, Maxim
