bob: How to create an updated bootstrap tarball



Hi!

I am back again with another bob question. Sorry I have so many of these :)

On macOS or Linux, where you need a bootstrap.tar.gz file, you probably want to create a new version of the bootstrap right before you start the build. Is there a good way to do this with bob?

I don't want to do it "natively" because that would impact the pkgsrc tree I am currently using.

Should I just use "bob dev" to create a sandbox, run bootstrap in there and package the result? If so, would it make sense to have something like a "bob createbootstrap" command?
