Some time ago I started a project to establish known baseline build environments that would make the binary distributions a bit more of a known quantity.
Originally I planned to use chroot as the basic tool for establishing the baselines. The problem became complicated when I found I needed to track all the dependencies between various packages. I've found a simpler solution - VMWare. I can set up a bunch of virtual machines with known baseline environments to do the builds. Over the next couple weeks I'll be trying a couple of test builds using the standard build procedure available from your web site. Once I've got the process down pat, I'd like to make a few changes in the packaging for Red Hat linux distributions. I intend to make the packages generated one-for-one replacements for the original Red Hat packages. With the understanding that I'll be doing the work, does anybody have violent objections with my continuing with this project? [EMAIL PROTECTED]
