[Bf-committers] Meeting Summary May 8th 2005

Stupid newbie q.: what's the logic behind using chroot in the first place?
Last time I used that, about a year or two ago I believe, was for 
building a LiveCD.
So chroot was a must for that job.
But you don't *really* need that to build blender, so why not use *any* 
distro with clearly
defined dependencies (ok, on some conservative Debian maybe, to keep 
update-challenged
users (like myself) happy)? Just wondering...
