Normally you will have to run bootstrap only once. However, if you
-intend to hack on GNU cpio, you might need to run it again later. In
-this case, you will probably want to save some time and bandwidth by
-avoiding downloading the same files again. If so, create in GNU cpio
-root directory the file named `.bootstrap' with the following
-contents:
-
- --gnulib-srcdir=$HOME/gnulib --paxutils-srcdir=$HOME/paxutils
-
-Replace `$HOME/gnulib' and $HOME/paxutils with the actual directory
-where the Gnulib and Paxutils sources reside.
