Hi fellows, I have been written in Perl a "package manager" to run as user, with no root access called "Kornbrew". Actually it's just a installation by compiling, like ports (but with Homebrew concept). I tough: "So, I X running with no root, I could intall and run anything with the right package manager. So, for now, that's the man concept and it's running at Linux too.
https://github.com/TeeBSD/kornbrew Motivations --------------- I did Kornbrew to suply my needs about installing 3r party software as simple user at: * Cluster environment * Remote Shell account * When I need some specific version or the latest version of some software. * College's students lab. They could install whatever wants, and the machine keeps always as brand new instalation. * Don't need to use root in a desktop or workstation(With or without X). In all of these circumstances, to be root is not a good way to do things. I see a lot of benefits. I think, that's not my only needs. So, I took the beginning of the project to disseminate it and who like the concept, could give suggestions and / or do a more professional design, because I have a lot to do and I don't wanna to wasting my time, working by myself just in my needs. Instead, I could work with others and his needs. What dou you think about the concept. Is it good for more people? -- Antonio Feitosa (http://twitter.com/teebsd) #DevOps believer in Prototype Driven Development, #Security Consultant, #OpenBSD addicted, #ARM hobbyst and #Blues #Musician. #P2P is the real #cloudcomputing.
