Hello GoboLinux folks, My apologies to everyone who already read this - it is about the DragonflyBSD, or more accurately, Ravenports. It is not really related to GoboLinux per se, after all, it is the BSD which has as mascot the BSD-Devil with a nasty weapon Tux does not like :) (the GoboLinux Tux is well armoured behind that cloak ...), but more seriously, I think that maybe those of you who have missed this, may be interested - I will quote only what I found relevant to Gobolinux from there:
> multiversioning (you can use python2 and 3 simultaneously, > php 56 and 71 simultaneously, perl 5.24 and 5.26 simultaneously > etc, and build packages for all versions in the same build > instead of picking just one default) The old PC-BSD has had a vaguely similar approach if I remember correctly (PC-BSD is now called ... TrueOS; I found the name PC-BSD better but anyway). The relevant mail was from here if you want to have a look: http://lists.dragonflybsd.org/pipermail/users/2017-September/313580.html Ravenports is at: http://ravenports.ironwolf.systems/ On that page, the multiple versions can be found by jumping to the page by seeking "Concurrently installed versions". Unfortunately, I know next to nothing about any of the BSDs so I can not say anything more about any of this. I usually already failed at the installation steps when it came to the BSD flavours ... when trying to slice the HDD to have BSD understand where it can install itself. I always found cfdisk on Linux a lot easier to use ... in the pre-GTP days at the least. :-) Anyway! I really only wanted to point towards that even BSDs learn about GoboLinux, sort of, years lateron. ;-)
