I just wrote a different, extremely minimal approach to a bundling
system:
https://github.com/alexlarsson/bundler
It basically just loopback mounts a squashfs file in a private mount
namespace in a hardcoded place and execs a hardcoded binary name from
it. There is no desktop integration and no other flexibility, although
things like that *could* be introduced by a separate daemon that
extracts metadata from "installed" bundles.
Not sure this is exactly what we want either, but it might be
interesting to compare and contrast.
