I just thought of this, and I have never seen that done, so I'm not
sure how it would (if) work exactly.
I was thinking about creating a specific version of the OS that would
consist of all development tools required to build packages, develop
components, etc. This would provide the same environment for all
developers, and help in bug fixing, as they would all have the same
packages (by default, I was also thinking about implementing a better
version of Mandriva's Package Stats with an ability to input a list of
packages [from the bug reporter] so the tester can automatically
download the same versions). It is just a thought, but I would love to
see something like this implemented. I want to see what you guys think
of this too ;) (I'm trying to create something like this but not for
OS but for a framework, so I want to see some opinions.)
Just need to add some options to the package selection on initial
installation.
If I remember correctly, already Mandriva has a development option,
which presumably installs most if not all of the development packages on
the DVD.
In any case, there is a tree for selecting packages by group (server,
etc), as well as the option to select specific packages individually.
(I prefer selecting individual packages myself.)
Of course, Mandriva's current state is the starting point for Mageia.
By the way, this feature was inherited from Red Hat, from which Mandriva
originally forked.
