Other people are interested in doing the same. My choices are...
- explain how to install CentOS 6.5, which options to choose, turn off boot-to-gui, and how to download and build newer gcc, yasm, and python-2.7 to duplicate my build environment, etc, etc.
- or send out a 1.3 gigabyte centos65.tar.xz and give simple instructions to extract the archive, copy over /etc/resolv.conf, bind-mount /dev and /proc, chroot into the directory, and get going right away.
Wouldn’t this be easier done as a mock chroot? I realize you’re not building RPMs, but you could use the chroot for building any software, and on any arbitrary CentOS or Fedora system.
