New package proposal: distrobox
Hello everyone, I'd like to propose to include the package for Distrobox in Factory. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Virtualization:containers/distrobox Distrobox is a collection of scripts and wrappers that makes it super easy to create containers of a number of different distributions: https://github.com/89luca89/distrobox When used, it automatically maps the user's home directory and session inside of such containers, so that it is possible to install and run applications (textual or graphical) from the containers, as if they were available and installed on the host distro, integrate them in one's workflow, e.g., by providing helpers for creating desktop launchers, and much more. It is very similar and certainly has some overlap with toolbox, both in the goals and in the UI/UX. But there are differences too, especially in the UI/UX, so I think it's valuable to have both (and it's not like they conflict or that one can't have both installed, of course!). After all, in Open Source, it's _almost_ the more the merrier, isn't it? :-) Thanks and Regards -- Dario Faggioli, Ph.D http://about.me/dario.faggioli Virtualization Software Engineer SUSE Labs, SUSE https://www.suse.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- <<This happens because _I_ choose it to happen!>> (Raistlin Majere)

Turns out it's actually already there, as Dirk submitted it himself, and I didn't even notice! :-P https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/distrobox Sorry for the noise then... :-O Regards -- Dario Faggioli, Ph.D http://about.me/dario.faggioli Virtualization Software Engineer SUSE Labs, SUSE https://www.suse.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------- <<This happens because _I_ choose it to happen!>> (Raistlin Majere)
