Any guarantees of future environment for NuTyX?
bozonius:
Currently, it seems, the following is true for NuTyX:
1. NuTyX is fixed release, not rolling.
2. There will be some form of LTS for 9.2
3. The init system is *NOT* systemd
4. The package manager is Cards -- does this do dependency checking or not?
5. There is support for hosting VirtualBox
I am basing this on info at distrowatch.org and my own testing and observations. Please correct if any of this is inaccurate.
Assuming the above is accurate (or nearly so), is NuTyX committed to this sort of "configuration" (if you will) moving into the future? As it currently stands, this is the perfect arrangement for my needs and wants. I am currently trying to find an adequate platform for virtualbox hosting that will be at least as long-term stable as CentOS 6 has been.

Those binaries will be available as long I have space enought (20 GB) 13 G are used at the moment.

bozonius:
So I take it that my list was correct.
My only question is what your dictionary means by dependencies for compile time. I mean, if I need to install, say, an office suite and maybe that depends on other packages (fonts, etc), then cards will automatically install those dependencies; that is, I will not end up with a corrupted configuration. I think that is what you mean.
I think NuTyX might be a good candidate. It would be helpful if I can get the virtualbox Guest Additions working, as that would make testing and evaluation easier (the clipboard does not work even though the modules are installed and loaded).

Compilation dependencies are specified in the recipe of the package.
Runtime dependencies if it's a library, it will found it and add it automatically when you install something if other then a lib (python, perl module, script, etc..), it has to be specified at the time you build the package . But at the moment the end user want's to install it, the package will grab the dependencies, no need to worry about... unless the packager did a bad job (this is always possible as we are humans.)

I can only talk for NuTyX host and virtual machines:
--- Code: ---get kernel-lts.devel cards.devel
--- End code ---
you mount the /opt/VirtualBox/additions/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso
then in NuTyX you do:
--- Code: ---sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
cd /mnt
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
--- End code ---
