I think Gobolinux should become GobolinuxPackageManager to work with all
distros!
In the "Gobolinux Way" of managing packages,
I would highlight:
0) we have an organized packages filesystem hierarchy that is easy to
understand, track and maintain using any simple/normal filemanager.
1) we can have concurrent application versions installed at the same
time; if you upgrade your system and something goes wrong, it is easy to
downgrade any package needed (without uninstalling any version of it),
or at any time just use an old version of the application.
2) [at that time, I thought on this but dont remember having tested it]
we can have libraries (".so" files) with the same name for different
applications; when it runs with LD_LIBRARY_PATH, it is granted no
conflict will ever happen; but such libs would never become global either.
I dont have much knowledge tho.. would someone hightlight something else
that could be attractive when using on other distros?

Vladimir,
It's not dead. The pulse is still there, and a motivated
developer/sysadmin can make it sing again. Hisham and friends moved
the ball a long way. Someone else can pick it up and keep Gobolinux
going. The documents are there. It just takes effort.
The use case I see for Gobolinux is an organization that wants a sane
filesystem hierarchy and doesn't want the viruses packaged for the
mainstream Linux distributions. There is value in not being a big target.

Hi!
What is the current status of GoboLinux?
I see some recipe updates on the main page of gobolinux.org
<http://gobolinux.org>
but there are no newer isos/news/blog posts and the forum does
not seem to work (the latter can be an issue with my provider though).
Is the project alive? I'd really like to try it but I wouldn't
like to spend
my time installing and learning it if it's coming to the end of
the road.
I guess there are people that upgrade recipes at least. What are
your plans for GoboLinux's future? I understand that ideal systems
does not need revolutions and just upgrading packages would be
just fine. But I see gcc-4.6.1 and glibc-2.15 as the latest package
versions at svn.gobolinux.org <http://svn.gobolinux.org> and those
are too old for an alive
distro. Is there another place where the development continues today?
Does it worth to try GoboLinux these days?
