Notably, nspawn is what Parabola's build-system + uses for hermetic builds. + + Currently nspawn does not support FUSE filesystems inside of the + container. This PR enhances nspawn to support FUSE. + + This is of particular utility for build systems, because it will + allow build scripts to mount a FUSE overlayfs/unionfs of the root + filesystem, which is useful for building software that does not + support a `DESTDIR`-type setting to install to an alternate root. + (Recent versions of the Linux kernel support unprivileged + in-kernel overlayfs, but at this time it is still too restrictive + to support this use-case.) +- urls: [https://github.com/mailprocessing/mailprocessing/pull/16] + desc: | + mailprocessing's `maildirproc`(1) program is a mail-filter daemon + that can sort emails into folders and such.
