Hi If it's only for Python 2 packages, it's easy with "virtualenv", I've done it for multiple independent Trac installations, each with a different set of plugins. You still have to keep the Python 2 base packages on the system. If it's for 32 bits packages, you can isolate them in a chroot,

Hi, I'd like to "preserve" some packages which do require components I don't like to have "regularly" installed any more like some depending on Python2 or are 32bit. Is there a means to build a "mini binary system" where I can put these? Many thanks for a hint, Helmut
