You asked for opinions and so being one not to shy away from expressing mine:
I designed the myDSL system to be only a subset of the standard installaion files from an existing deb or tgz. That way it can be easily created with the tar command. I wanted a system that would be easy for users to create, easy as possible on system resources, and to try to insure system integrity.
The idea of install scripts has been brought up and I worry with command like rm being in them. Or having to carefully look inside each extension for possible code that could harm a system.
I know we have setup the testing area. I know we put in bold red the warning of possible danger to hard drive users. And we even setup the color code system.
Typical wrappers do not have rm or self destruct in them. They usually setup some paths and exports and then call for the execution of the program.
I think it is very amazing the amount and quaility of contributions based on the simple original idea of them being a simple collection from the original standard installion files.
