  • Using jlink to cross-compile minimal JREs
    Sounds like https://0install.net which has been around for a while. Personally I prefer to avoid 'installing' anything: if something's written in Java, its launcher should reference some specific java binary; if something's written in Python, it should reference some specific python3 binary; etc. For example, my job is mostly writing Scala and building it with Maven; yet I have neither installed system-wide.... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Go binding for upx utility
    It seems more like a package manager. https://0install.net/. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Ubuntu's Snap performs application updates without user consent
    The article mentions Snap, AppImage and FlatPak, but there is also a much older system called 0install (zero install) that was started in 2003 or so [1]. I wonder why that never took off. [1] https://zero-install.sourceforge.net/roadmap.html (note this is the old website; the new website is https://0install.net - looks like it's still getting releases in October this year). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Flaptak (and Snap) is not the future
    That's true, future app distributions should utilize web 3.0, e.g. decentralization. There is 0install ( https://0install.net/ ), for example, it is better. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
