Hello gobo-folks,

Has anyone of you tried out the "Bash Subsystem on Windows" yet,
on Win10?

  https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/commandline/

It works for me fairly well so ar.

My idea is to try and setup a "GoboLinux-like system" there. Then
I could use it to test stuff, including GoboLinux but also my
own scripts; on my todo list is to autogenerate all available
GoboLinux recipes in a valid way.

Currently, ubuntu and opensuse work on Win10. I am using ubuntu as a "base
system", on a win10 laptop. Compiling works very well albeit it is slower
than on a "full" linux system from my experience. That is fine for me though
since I only use the laptop as a test system mostly. My main workhorse is
still an oldschool desktop computer.

Since I do not really use apt-get, and I still consider the /Programs
hierarchy far superior to the FHS, wanting to have a GoboLinux
like layout seems logical (to me). My ruby scripts work fine
as well on that win10 machine, so I should be able to automate everything
as much as that is humanly possible.

So without much further ado, to my questions:

- If I wish to start or "bootstrap" a GoboLinux or a GoboLinux-like system,
using the "official" scripts, which variants from the gobolinux github area
should
I get first? And will this ultimately work or am I missing something here
in my
thought process?

I had a look at the GoboLinux scripts at github:

  https://github.com/gobolinux

I assume I need foremost these three:

"Scripts"

  https://github.com/gobolinux/Scripts

Also the:

"Recipes"

  https://github.com/gobolinux/Recipes

Probably also

"Compile"

  https://github.com/gobolinux/Compile

Aside from these three basic building blocks, do I need anything
else? Do I need the DevelScripts? Would BuildLiveCD help?

And with which ones should I start or setup first?

There is not a lot of documentation available e. g. at
https://github.com/gobolinux/Scripts but also lacking in
general, which I can understand to a large extent. My own
scripts do lack documentation too. Time constraints persist
for most everyone. :)

I guess for me the most  important part is the part where I can get things
to the point of "working" on a "GoboLinux-like setup", just in the
very same way as if it were a full/real GoboLinux setup.

I can also help add information to the github-wiki so that this is
not ultimately lost in the mailing list archives, like 10 years old
archives such as "would you like to be a recipe committer" -
actually, some of the ancient discussions are nice to read years
lateron - nostalgia and such.
