It's already mentioned in sub comments but I'd like to mention GNURoot Debian [0] in a top level comment. It is regular Debian (full repository of unmodified packages unlike Termux), and unlike variety of other chroot based soluti

That shim is still same in all apps bundling the same version, though. Thus it is possible to distribute it out of band as a shared component just like system webview.

I'm not sure I get your point. > The future dates you are quoting were recently updated to those dates Nope, I see same dates there (except 4.4 which I didn't quote in my above comment contrary to what you seem to be claiming)

This is good news, but I'm slightly surprised with the attention this got here and other circles because this actually is nothing new and just a PR move by Google. From https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html

multiprocess was a different event and it happened well before Firefox 56 breakage.

Great misunderstanding of what I said, this is two in a row when considering the above, bravo. What is wrong with your first comment is: 1. zenlikethat's comment obviously talks about base images in general, not about a specific base i

Read my comment carefully. Though I've used terms loosely you'll see I'm actually talking about package repositories and their inclusion policies.

Solving that problem is orthogonal to vetting repositories. There is nothing wrong with inventing their own solution if they're solving other problems, what is wrong is not learning from previous examples and fucking up creating pro

It is a matter of distribution and release policy and not an inherent limitation of the model. Stable/lts/enterprise distributions have other concerns like preventing regressions and configuration or behavior changes during lifeti

Yet another attack vector that doesn't exist at all in Linux distributions but invented by language package managers, sadly. They solved the issue 2 decades ago by heavily vetting packages before accepting them into repositories. User
