It depends on what exactly you mean by "how clean is the build
environment". That question could be interpreted in 10 different
ways by 10 different people. Can you be more specific?
With "clean build environment" I refer to the amount of what is
installed without being a dependency. I mean that every -devel
package, every tool which is needed to build a src.rpm would not be
found unless it is a buildreq or a dependency of a package which is
installed already. Sort of a minimal installation of Red Hat Linux
with only rpm-build and its dependencies installed. Every additional
package required to build a src.rpm would need to be an explicit
BuildRequires in the src.rpm.
A less clean environment would have a few core development tools
installed always, e.g. compilers, interpreters (such a Perl) or related
utilities (make, patch, parser generators), so that they don't need to
be listed as buildreqs in a high number of src.rpms. Of course, this
could also be done with a new development-core package, like
fedora-rpmdevtools does it to pull in some dependencies which are
considered essential for a build environment.
