The really nice thing about Gobo was how approachable the codebase was. It was pretty easy to add features (like the unionfs sandbox) due to the different layers. Each part was easy to understand.
Creating a full distro is pretty ambitious. Especially a modern one where the lower level parts are more integrated. Having Gobo on the user level is very appealing (at least for me). I think it should be distro agnostic. Maybe targeting the same base requirements as Valve's Steam. A lot of distros make it easy to run Steam and we could leverage that support. Just a quick requirements list off the top of my head. Distro Agnostic (target the Steam API, anything beyond that should be installed within Gobo) Should be layered right on top of existing distro. Root access required. Should have /Programs /System can live without /Users. No need for gobohide. Shouldn't install in $HOME, that is too similar to Rootless. Should target application level packages. Will provide more flexibility than appdirs. For instance, AVR cross tool chains. Open issues: UnionFSSandbox No idea what the best unionfs is right now. Recipes or BinaryPackages How to tie build system into the Steam ABI and Gobo while ignoring everything else in the base distro.
