There are some related wiki articles, not sure what you want: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packagers_chroot or maybe https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Default_packages_on_BS

The thing is, not the tools are missing, but the contributors.

I am only familiar with Scratchbox 1. Does Scratchbox 2 come with the appropriate toolkits included? In Sbox 1, you had to add them manually and set up the rather dangerous environment manually as well. In addition it was reliant on binfmt_misc and Qemu. Are those options available in Mandriva by default?
