Hello
I was just wondering if Slitaz users could be interested in implementing self-contained application modules, of the kind that has been recently done in TinyCore Linux (in the form of SCM extensions). In short, you will have an application that is self-sufficient in terms of dependencies, at the cost of having duplicate libraries on your system, but with the certainty that no dependency will ever go missing or be screwed up by something else. The big advantage is in terms of total reliability.
TinyCore has recently implemented in Linux this mode, which has been used extensively for years in Mac OS X (where app directories are the standard mode), in Windows (portable applications within their own directory) and PC-BSD.
Is there any chance that Slitaz may also embrace the idea? Not as a replacement of the current package system, of course, but as an option, for the benefit of those users who really prize reliability over everything else. It would be nice.
What do you guys think about this proposal?
