Description
Hello, can this be reconsidered? I have both my own container runtime and podman, but when doing certain experiments, it would really be useful to just quickly "distrobox stuff".
Dristobox minimizes lot of podman spelunking and other unproductive and lost time. Especially when you are not running "app containers" but are using containers for dev and research purposes.
According to my research distrobox wraps podman so the deps should be minimal, if podman is already present...
Distrobox request was originally rejected in #36341and #50512. I am creating 3rd issue, because normal users don't have right to reopen old issues.
Does the requested package meet the package requirements?
Compiled, System
Is the requested package released?
Yes
