Still, if gentoo images can be customized at one's favorite cloud service |
| 8 |
provider, it may serve as a way to easily evaluate new codes, particularly |
| 9 |
codes that will require some effort to create a stable ebuild. That's what |
| 10 |
I'm hoping for is just a quick shot packager where the host is very secured, |
| 11 |
or outsourced, so security is somebody else's time_sink. |

What bummed me out is that Canonical is the only one that can create these |
| 14 |
packages for other distros? That's going to fly like a lead balloon, if that |
| 15 |
is the case. |

So the idea of a packges that also creates a (secure) container on a gentoo |
| 18 |
system that is otherwise, containerless, does get folks into the |
| 19 |
container/clusterr world rather quickly.... |
