Alright, I guess we can tag it as “wishlist” then.  :-)

Thanks for clarifying,

Aha.


> create an FHS environment, right?

And to put in the manual the best way to get it.

Proot has troubles with Chromium.
Unshare has troubles with all, more or less.
Some apps surprisingly easy to start, though.

.. Some sort of FHS on demand, or NS maded right would help a lot on System.
To start binary releases from upstream, and elsewhere (deb, rpm, pacman).

To be clear, you’re advocating for the ability to create an FHS
environment, right?

Thanks,

Recently i saw WebKit failing to build on Cuirass.

For Guix System it ought to be in the Manual:
"Setting up FHS for auxiliary applications obtained from upstream Free 
binaries".

This way Joe has a base system which is obviously important to keep reprobuilt.
Then Joe happily pile things on top of it, rather than install Guix on top of 
legacy.

Will definitely try this myself, but if someone already has notes and so, do 
share.
