You could also dockerise the development environment. Rather than having people run these things on their Linux install you can just run a docker environment with it already setup. Then upgrades become easy pulls and running them. I recently moved to using docker for the common development tools and it has made changes a lot easier. I also read somewhere about using DISPLAY for X programs with docker and so now even the IDE can run in one as well. It takes a while to set it up but it doesn't have the overhead of VM solutions like vagrant and with docker-compose it ends up really easy to just have in a git repository making setup just a git clone and docker install and then docker-compose up.
