XDG-APP for software development

[Daniel Espinosa]

Is it possible to reuse OSTree Sdk, create a branch, make it read/write and
use it as a place where you can install your dependencies.

Is it possible to use xdg-app to distribute libraries? A kind of plugin to
Sdk, where authors of libraries, like me, is able to distribute new
versions to develop against.

gnome-builder xdg-app depends on the sdk because it needs clang and stuff
for e.g. parsing C code. However, if you're building an app, and that app
has more dependencies than what is in the sdk we should be bundling that
with that app. In the context of day-to-day app development this means that
gnome-builder should be doing the building in a child xdg-app instance that
has the dependencies pre-installed in /app (possibly with a different SDK
than the one builder uses even ).

Is that possible or planning? Should be great for any one using a box
requiring not just develop, but have an stable system for day to day work.
Like me, I'm using Debian, and may consider Red Hat EL, to do my day work,
as stable environment, but I'm unable to use jhbuild. I would not
re-consider to go to Ubuntu 16.04, I want to be away if it, but need some
good alternative. No Fedora, I've tested and makes my system unstable,
non-continuous environment, because I have to update 6 to 8 months later,
and I need some thing with more time, but allowing to develop upstream on
libgda and GXml.
