Along those lines may I suggest that a developer area
is setup somewhere
on a trinty servers that has the following info by package
1. Package name to be built
2. All the dependency packages used to build the package at this time.
3. The configure parameters etc.
4. How it was built.
Have a look at linux from scratch as an example.
Good idea! The Wiki would be a good place for this document.
