Hi,
what are your main problems?
That is not relevant here but it has nothing to do with gvfs for me.
I was talking about the same things I have already mentioned: on Windows
it is very easy to put some application on some usb stick and run it
from there, but this is hardly possible even in Linux. These are basic
problems created by bad design of systems that already have solutions
but they are not getting implemented and users suffer site-wide as a
consequence...
At least, well, it is the same topic as snaps right?
These apps usually cannot be made portable because they have fixed links
to libraries.
e.g. when I compile Calligra I have to specify the path it will run in
in advance even before compiling (using configure).
If I change the location of the /binary/ (including its libs) (that I
just compiled) it will no longer run!!
So for that program the locations were already fixed prior to
compilation even!!!
This is the same problem sphere as snaps.
As what snaps could be a solution to (if done..., you know...).
The complete dependences on the complete FHS has always been a problem.
Can you explain exactly what you think you are responding to and
what my sentiment would have been to you? I just feel you might be
responding to something I have not said.
My apologies if that is the case for not being very clear.
For example:
"Why is there not a user fstab in which the user can specify mounts he
or she wants to use?"
I mean what you think I intend by saying that, not my verbatim words (I
remember them).
Because your response seems to want to discuss a great many things that
might not even be a problem.
