11:45 <SiFuh> farkuhar: This OpenBSD style installer is pretty cool. Just has no package selection and a static lilo bootloader.

11:45 <farkuhar> Instead of a full chroot populated with all the ports in the dependency chain (some duplicated from the real root, others temporarily extracted as "makedepends"), what if we extracted the build-time dependencies into an overlay filesystem, and then merged it with the real root? https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/overlayfs.html

11:46 <farkuhar> Admittedly, that would require users of the rewritten prt-get to build their kernels with support for overlayFS, which is not a feature I have much experience with.

11:48 <SiFuh> Hmm, yeah, that could be a problem

16:13 <dlcusa> I don't see that as anything other than minor. This IS a distro that expects their users to build kernels, after all.

16:18 <dlcusa> I would say also they should not only be able to read what the doc says about the complexities of dealing with dependencies, they should really want to..
