Hi John,

*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.

This proposal has come up before, and it makes sense, but we should do
it in an organized fashion and only for future toolchains probably...
There are some other tools that we could/should include: Autotools
(Autoconf + Automake + libtool), patch, zlib, CMake, zip, etc.
The best way would probably to define a 'builddeps' bundle?
Note that this wouldn't help with totally avoiding some OS packages,
since you'll still need several of these tools to build GCC(core) +
binutils.
But we could of course include the required build dependencies there
individually...
The best way to follow up on this is probably to open an issue in the
easyconfigs repository?
regards,
Kenneth
