I just wrote a different, extremely minimal approach to a bundling system: https://github.com/alexlarsson/bundler It basically just loopback mounts a squashfs file in a private mount namespace in a hardcoded place and execs a hardcoded binary name from it. There is no desktop integration and no other flexibility, although things like that *could* be introduced by a separate daemon that extracts metadata from "installed" bundles. Not sure this is exactly what we want either, but it might be interesting to compare and contrast. _______________________________________________ gnome-os-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-os-list
