BasicSetupDesktop

Basic packages for OSS development

This page provides scripts on the packages that should be installed for effective OSS development on my desktop and full featured laptop systems. Besides the base utilities, email and web stuff, I feel that a dev box should have all the prerequisites to build and run the upstream bits of whatever tool you are using or developing for. If you are installing on a "disk space challanged" sytem see my BasicSetupNetbook page for similar instructions that will fit within 2Gig of disk.

I'm a kernel developer so I need all the goodies to build the upstream bleeding edge kernel. I like to pretend that I'm a python developer so I also what to be able to build the latest bleeding edge python code if I ever needed too. Similarly for my dorkbot-ish hobbies, I expect a good developer box to enable me to build new versions of PIC and AVR compilers and Arduino tools for my robot habit. Lastly I'm a wannabee gnome developer so I've included some gnome development prerequisites.

The following scrip source is something I use to quickly provision my systems. Its based on Ubuntu 8.04 YMMV.
