Sandbox is a library (and helper utility) to run programs in a
|
|
"sandboxed" environment. This is used as a QA measure to try and
|
|
prevent applications from modifying files they should not.
|
|
|
|
For example, in the Gentoo world we use it so we can build applications
|
|
as root and make sure that the build system does not do crazy things
|
|
outside of its build directory. Such as install files to the live root
|
|
file system or modify config files on the fly.
|
|
|
|
For people who are familiar with the Debian "fakeroot" project or the
|
|
RPM based "InstallWatch", sandbox is in the same vein of projects.
