CentOS - Feb 2007 - How do I create a clean build environment?

I get interesting results on this one.  If I run rpm -q -a | grep i386
as root, I get this:

 

nspluginwrapper-i386-0.9.91.1-1

 

If I run as my local non-root user, I get this:

I'm guessing the root run isn't set up right, but that's beside the
point.

 

1) Which of the above should not be available in my build environment
(and why), if you have the time?

 

2) I've found plague and plague-related RPMs at
http://centos.karan.org/el4/extras/stable/x86_64/RPMS/repodata/repoview/
Development.Tools.group.html - which of them do I need and which
versions (I'm guessing "all" and "the latest")?

 

3) Where is documentation on how to use plague?  I didn't see it at the
above URL....

 

Thanks.

essentially, you only need the pkgs in 'base' and 'core' as well
as
other build-requires and their dep chains to build a package.

plague is a buildsystem - but not a package builder, it uses mock under 
the hood, and I am guessing all you really want is mock and not the 
whole plague suite.

I suggest you start with mock, lots of docs on the fedora project wiki 
for that.
