Description :
Toolbox is a tool that offers a familiar package based environment for
developing and debugging software that runs fully unprivileged using
Podman.
The toolbox environment is based on an OCI image such as
fedora-toolbox. This image is used to create a toolbox container that
seamlessly integrates with the rest of the operating system.
This is rather handy to create what are sometimes referred to 'pet
containers' where you can set up your development environment inside a
container. This not only helps to keep your OS clean but also allows
one to easily make it reproducible by creating custom images.
I have already made some progress which can be found on salsa
(<https://salsa.debian.org/huggles/toolbox>) for my own benefit (please
feel free to review it and suggest changes) and I thought that it might
be an idea to make an attempt to properly package it and add it to the
Debian archives.
Will be keen to hear what others think.
Kind Regards,
Hayley
