We want to move to creating all deterministic builds on 12.04, so we can move away from 'ancient' versions of gcc/boost.
Move to ubuntu 12.04 for all gitian builds #3533

Agreed. I remember that there were some issues with this that made us decide not to do this last time (like breaking compatibility with Ubuntu before 12.04), but it's time now.

I was trying this and found one problem already: BerkeleyDB. There is no package libdb4.8++-dev on Precise.
What to do here? Use the PPA or build from source (and link statically)? I guess build from source, to prevent an external dependency?

Right, that was the reason for not upgrading at the time...

Import another database sub-tree, then? :)

I will NAK contaminating our source code tree with BDB.

Build BDB as a deterministic gitian input prior to the Linux build?
BTW, what happened with cfields' deterministic gitian macos cross-build?
