Hi All,

I have been given the task reasearching possible ways of setting
up a development environment such that:

        - Multiple releases can be supported on the same machine (e.g.
          the perl in the 7.3 and 7.2 on the same machine).
        - Try to avoid rebuilding (and altering) the RedHat RPM's.
        - There should be one golden copy of this environment (though
          it can be replicated to servers accross the WAN).
        - Each development environment should mimic what packages are part
          of the target environment.

I know I can install a set of RPM's to a  false root.  Once I do that
though:

        - if I try to use executables in the false root with out 
          doing a chroot I end up picking shared libraries local to the
          machine (and not the ones in the chrooted environement).
        - if I do a chroot things work well except for I run into 
          issues with mounting mounts on top the RO filesystems (this 
          appears to be needed to provide access to our source control, 
          and give developers a scratch space).

So my question really is how do your companies handle managing the 
configuration of your development and build environments?  

Thanks...james
