Perhaps Simon is thinking of package managers run by a user for just their environment, e.g. Go's `vgo' is caching libraries of external Go source as zip files now. CACHEDIR.TAG, defined by http://www.brynosaurus.com/cachedir/spec.html, and used by GNU tar, etc., is related. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy _______________________________________________ fhs-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/fhs-discuss
