Base Development Toolchain¶

Description¶

Base development toolchains provide the core build tools (compilers, linkers, make, etc.) required to compile software from source. Common examples include base-devel on Arch Linux, build-essential on Debian/Ubuntu, and @development-tools on Fedora/CentOS.

Overview¶

This role installs distro-specific equivalents of core build tooling so systems are ready for compiling software from source. After deploying this role, all common build dependencies are available on the system.

Cosmos¶

The diagram places Base Development Toolchain in the Infinito.Nexus cosmos: the components it deploys (capabilities), the central services it consumes (dependencies), and its outward reach (federation and bridged external networks).

Solid 1:1 edges are fixed relationships; dashed 0..1 edges are conditional (enabled only in matching deployments); red 0..0 edges are turned off in this role. Node markers show the role’s deploy modes (💻 host, 🐳 compose, 🐝 swarm); ❌ marks a service that is explicitly turned off, and ⚙️ an Ansible role dependency declared in meta/main.yml.

Features¶

Installs distro-specific base development packages:
- Archlinux: base-devel
- Debian/Ubuntu: build-essential
- Fedora/CentOS: @development-tools
Ensures your system is ready for software compilation and development
