As explained in #1293, we're currently using truffle to compile the contracts in this repo, and we want to migrate to our own CLI. There is an issue with using the CLI in the repo itself because of a circular dependency: the compiler depends on lib, and lib depends on the compiler to build itself.
To work around this, we have created a new
bootstrap
self-contained package that installs a previous version of the CLI. Note that this is not part of the root Yarn workspaces because there were issues with hoisting that resulted in errors.This PR replaces #1293 because we thought that requiring a globally installed version of the CLI made the development setup cumbersome by not being self-contained, and this would deter external contributions.
