Some historical reason here. The wiki page has been written before we |
| 10 |
have a bootstrap script for RAP, so it was about bootstraping from a |
| 11 |
classic Prefix. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The RAP bootstrap has not yet been considered finished. |

Yeah, the more recent one is in git. I forgot to update the http link. |

Nice catch, patch welcome. |

I don't know what they are. Could you be more specific? |

The bootstrap script is outdated and serves as a shortcut. Even when |
| 43 |
up-to-date, it was not fool-proof. So don't be surprised it breaks. |
| 44 |
When it does, just circumvent it. It can be resumed afterwards to |
| 45 |
serves a shortcut again. Notice that the glibc is still on 2.17 and gcc |
| 46 |
on 4.7 as one year ago. I am planning to upgrade them, but don't hold |
| 47 |
your breath. Patches welcome, as always. |

If you want to use Prefix on Fedora 20 and newer, a classic Prefix using |
| 51 |
host glibc will do, too. That receives more testing and might work more |
| 52 |
smoothly. |
