Description
problem: how to combine two container filesystems without conflicts, so you can use them as dependencies. docker compose goes for independent filesystems with shared services, but i am interested here in exploring package management solutions that avoid global state conflicts
research:
- nix/nixos
- mkpkg
- depot-lite
- http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/
modules: http://modules.sourceforge.net/docs/absmod.pdf- local disk depot: https://www.usenix.org/legacy/publications/library/proceedings/lisa93/full_papers/wong.pdf
