Some (crazy?) ideas: a) Is it possible to install multiple Perl versions in the same server? Each third party Perl packages would linked to the corresponding Perl versions? Users have to update /usr/bin/perl to link to the desired Perl version (or using wrapper mechanism like /etc/mail/mail.conf).
Being able to create multiple unique environments on the same host is very beneficial.
I believe Oracle Solaris on ZFS is able to install individual packages into separate zones, and ZFS can share certain zones between each other. Manipulating sharing rules allows creation of exactly this: various unique set of packages in top-level zones. So for example, perl and all its dependent packages can be installed multiple times in multiple versions in different ZFS zones on top of shared dependency packages.
Unfortunately, FreeBSD version of ZFS lacks zones. Yuri _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
