I assume it doesn’t, but thought I’d ask.

I really like the principles behind both gentoo and flatpak, but right now I can only do the gentoo way or the flatpak way (and I’ve opted for gentoo’s for now).

What I’d love to have from flatpak:

  • container like sandboxing and isolation
  • customizable sandboxing and permissions

What I’d love to have from gentoo:

  • powerful build system building packages from source
  • global declarative management of compilation options
  • easy patches
  • easy to add packages that aren’t in repos
  • support for many architectures or setups

    I’ve seen NixPak which I think would be just what you want, except that it’s for Nix instead of Gentoo. But Nix has the same features that you say you like in Gentoo.

      I’ve been interested in nix for a while. In fact, the use case I described probably fits nix better than gentoo. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

        Is Nix taking over? But, I am so used to Gentoo and probably will never make the switch.
