Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2012-01-30 07:17:00 UTC 
we should really deemphasise 'jhbuild bootstrap'.  it's usually a bad idea unless your distro is very old.

some mention of this in the docs would be good.

i don't agree that bootstrap should be thrown out entirely.

it's pretty much necessary on macos, for example.
