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

      Build everything you use and ackage it in flatpak?

      It’s not even that hard to build your own gentoo-based runtimes and install stuff on top of that. Fedora does offer that, too, offering fatpaks based on their own fedora based runtime + rpms.
