I don't think they are the same in many ways, let me summarize those differences: - Gobo does not use bundles. Sure, our applications are contained inside one folder, but bundles are meant to be standalone (i.e: do not need any dependencies), while our packages are not. - They plan to use snapshots, tying them to btrfs, something I don't like, as I find btrfs slow for desktops ( though I think my opensuse has it and I don't find slow at all) - They want to have a fixed base (what they call runtimes) leading to greater use of disk space and (potientially) of RAM. Although we are not using bundles right now, we might use them in the future, through a software called limba. --Best regards, Sergio. Although in their case the goal is better sandboxing, the consequences lead to package management similar to Gobo. https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/SandboxedApps _______________________________________________ gobolinux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-users _______________________________________________ gobolinux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gobolinux.org/mailman/listinfo/gobolinux-users
