To come a step forward with to my target I come up with this idea for |
2 |
the Prefix team. Get the vision is already in everybodies head. |
3 |
|
4 |
youtoo, short u2, does what it says. It brings gentoo to everybody, to |
5 |
the windows user, to the mac user, ... did I forget someone, well |
6 |
certainly also to un*x users. |
7 |
|
8 |
youtoo --prefix /home/user/gentoo/ --target gedit |
9 |
|
10 |
That would compile gedit into the given directory, with all required |
11 |
dependencies. |
12 |
|
13 |
Everybody could run gentoo programs with user rights on any platform, |
14 |
always from the latests sources. If it works, it would become a kind |
15 |
of driving engine for the whole gentoo distribution. |
16 |
|
17 |
|
18 |
Is that realistic? |
19 |
|
20 |
Has somebody done it already? |
21 |
|
22 |
Where are the pitfalls? |
23 |
|
24 |
On windows it would i.e. include the installation of the cygwin |
25 |
compatibility layer, to get a Posix environment. |
26 |
|
27 |
What would you think about? |
28 |
|
29 |
How big do you estimate the timely requirements to get a prove of concept? |
