This is exactly what wiki page says, ie, for special cases only. On the same wiki page this is the 3rd delivery way from 4 existing for now. For example, I need a way to run some software w/ not trivial dependencies in foreign environment only once, and setting up Zero Install/Sweets/PackageKit is an overkill. Using a self-contained bundle is exactly the way. I'm not sure that it might be useful for binary based activities (even as an intermediate solution), as Rafael, mentioned. Because such self contained binary bundles should be launched exactly in the same environment (for now, people who provide bundles that tends to be self contained need to support bunch of distro releases and platform arches). -- Aleksey _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
