*I would like to propose additional packages for foss toolchains. Toolchains should contain enough tools to build packages independent of the OS dev tools. I propose that foss should contain:* *make,* * bz2, and xzutils. *
*Why?Adding this small set of tools would allow us to build everything without having to add the OS dev packages. We are targeting our EB environment to support minimally configured cluster nodes and for Docker containers. Starting with a base Ubuntu container we do not want to have to add the compilers that are part of the dev packages. Containers will be used to build packages and also for our computing environment.* *John Dey* *HPC Operations* SciComp Computing *O* *206.667.4308* *M* *360.649.2731* jf...@fredhutch.org Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center 1100 Fairview Ave. N., Mail Stop J3-516 Seattle, WA 98109 *fredhutch.org* <http://www.fredhutch.org/> -- John Dey j...@fuzzdog.com
