Re: Build/Development environments...

Thus far the only solution I have heard was the use of the UML kernel,
which equates to allowing the users to run a virtual machine
environment with the particular set of blessed rpm's for a particular
development cycle.  This in turn is kind of an extreme change rooted 
environment solution.  

The avenue I would really like to explore though would be to have the
set of RPM's installed to a false root, but via changing environment 
variables and perhaps some wrapper trickery use the tools in the 
alternate root representing the development set for a particular 
release.  The one issue I am still stuck with is how to make the
the executables that are not linked static not use the shared libraries
in /lib and /usr/lib, but instead use the ones in /false_root/lib
and /false_root/usr/lib?  Any thoughts on this?

Thanks...james
