Bootstrap installer build #9

Open jakirkham opened 6 years ago

jakirkham commented 6 years ago

Instead of using Miniconda downloads and installs from various sources, it would be better if we could reuse our own installer to produce the next version (i.e. bootstrap). This is advantageous for a number of reasons. First it allows us to better test our installer through dogfooding. Second it opens the door to reusing common packages between installers (speeding up builds). Third it avoids dependencies on things that may change and potentially break our build. In short, there is much to gain from bootstrapping our installer.

Of course this depends on us generating our own installers ( https://github.com/jakirkham/miniforge/issues/5 ).
