Hi guys, I want to advertise GoboLinux. I began to translate Wikipedia's French GoboLinux page. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoboLinux Consequently, I wonder questions I have trouble answering. Correct me if i'm wrong. 1 - In the English Wikipedia page, it is said that a program installed manually is automatically detected by Compile. => How does it work? Because a program installed manually installs its files in the FHS. Does Compile copy these files into /Programs and create links in FHS, or does it create links from /Programs to FHS? 2 - Recipes GoboLinux seems to be the sum of 4 things: - Install scripts, to install the system properly. - The Compile program, which allows to install Tarballs properly. - Gobohide kernel extension, which allows to hide the FHS (and others). - Recipes. Until here, I thought that Compile was a "magic" program that install every packet perfectly. But I understood that "Recipes" are a kind of "micro-script" helping Compile to install the program. => How many Recipes are available now? => Where are located the Recipes? On the server or on my computer? Which folder? 3 - Maintaining Recipes => Does each package needs a Recipe, or only those which cause troubles when installed? When the package respects "UNIX package standards", does it need Recipe too? If each package needs a Recipe, it appears to me to be a huge weakness of GoboLinux, because in the long terme, it's impossible to maintain Recipes for every package. Recipe make GoboLinux dependant from each package, that is dangerous for its ability to evolve. => Is there a method to make Compile able to automatically create Recipes (which message boxes if needed, for URL for instance)? Or does Recipes are inevitable? 4 - Linux Kernel => If I recompile the Linux Kernel using Compile, will the GoboHide extension be included automatically? 5 - Many versions of a same program => GoboLinux tree allows to install many versions of a same program. For instance: - /Programs/Firefox/42.0/ - /Programs/Firefox/41.0.2/ - /Programs/Firefox/40.0.3/ - /Programs/Firefox/37.0.1/ => But is it possible to install the same version many times? It could be very usefull, but it would need an unique identifier, like - /Programs/Firefox/42.0/akdkdfjrfhdh/ - /Programs/Firefox/42.0/fkjfdjkskdfm/ - /Programs/Firefox/42.0/xvfmsdklklsf/ Is it possible or not? => Will it be possible in the near future? Sorry for all of thiese questions, I wish to make a very clear Wikipedia page ^^
