Linglong discussion

[raspin0]

Hello, I've seen that deepin is in the process of making new packaging system. I'm curious about some aspects of it.

1. Will Linglong support installing applications from archive like files? Similarly to .apk and .exe?
2. Suggestion - If it's still feasible you can shorten Linglong to Lilo for command line operations,
   a) it would stop making confustion with ll which is used by a lot of people to perform listing,
   b) it would be a more distinctive name
   c) I think it would be a better name for English speakers in general.

Lilo used to be a name for linux boot loader, but it has been depreciated years ago. From what I've check the name seems to be unoccupied.

The whole thing is not open-sourced yet but you can already try it on its related website https://linglong.space/. I am not a part of linglong's development team so not be able to answer all related questions, but if you visit that site and maybe try the thing, you may get some answer of your questions already :)

It's a new package format, not an emulator/emulation layer. It can be used to run a emulator tho.

The default executable is not Linglong nor ll, it's ll-cli, and you can always create a preferred bash alias by yourself :)
