+"""bootstrap.py
+
+This is an Aegis-to-SCons build script that collects a copy of the
+current SCons into a bootstrap/ subdirectory and then executes it with
+the supplied command-line options.
+
+Right now, it only understands the SCons -Y option, which is the only
+one currently used. It collects the repositories specified by -Y and
+searches them, in order, for the pieces of SCons to copy into the local
+bootstrap/ subdirectory.
+
+This is essentially a minimal build of SCons to bootstrap ourselves into
+executing it for the full build of all the packages, as specified in our
+local SConstruct file.

* the relevant build command. This command tells SCons where to find
* the rules.
*
- * The ${bl}/build/scons-src/src/engine points $SCONS_LIB_DIR points
- * SCons at the last-built scons-src package, which should have
- * everything. This means that, under Aegis, we're really using the
- * currently-checked-in baseline to build the current version. This
- * implies that using a new feature in our own SConscripts is a
- * two-stage process: check in the underlying feature, then check in a
- * change to use it in our SConscripts.
+ * Our chicken-and-egg dilemma is this: we want to use the version of
+ * SCons under development in an Aegis change to build itself. But the
+ * pieces of SCons are likely only partly in this change, and partly in
+ * baselines.
*
- * The ${s src/script/scons.py} expands to a path into the baseline
- * during development if the script file is not in the change.
+ * Python only imports things on a module-by-module basis--which is to
+ * say, once it finds __init__.py in a given directory, it assumes that
+ * all other files in that module are in the same directory. But that's
+ * not the way Aegis works, because if a file hasn't changed on the
+ * branch, it will only be in its parent's baseline directory.
+ *
+ * Aegis' mechanism for working around this sort of problem is to make
+ * symlinks to the proper baseline versions of each file, which makes
+ * it look like everything is in the local tree. That's unattractive,
+ * though, because we really want to eat our own dog food and use the
+ * SCons -Y options to pull things from the baseline repositories.
+ *
+ * So our solution (suggested by Anthony Roach) is a bootstrap.py script
+ * that does some Aegis-like searching through the baseline directories
+ * and makes a bootstrap copy of the version of SCons under development
+ * that we can use for building. After it makes this copy of SCons, it
+ * executes it with the same command-line arguments we supplied (and
+ * setting $SCONS_LIB_DIR to the right directory) so we can use it
+ * here with command-line options as if it were SCons itself. (Note,
+ * however, that bootstrap.py only understands the specific command-line
+ * options already in use here, so if you change the call below to add
+ * some other SCons options, you may have to modify bootstrap.py to
+ * recognize them.
+ *
+ * The ${Source bootstrap.py} substitution finds bootstrap.py wherever
+ * it may be in the Aegis baselines.
+ *
+ * The long -Y${SUBSTitute...} substitution takes the Aegis baseline
+ * search path and turns it into the right -Y command-line options for
+ * SCons.
+ *
+ * The rest of the substitutions (${DEVeloper}, etc.) should be obvious.
*
* Look in aesub(5) for more information about command substitutions.
