Yes, that reminds me that I saw a new technology from ubuntu: snap
https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/snappy/build-apps/

It is only currently designed for ubuntu (whatever version). However, as 
it comes from Ubuntu, we could bet that it will work on other 
debian-like systems and perhaps on redhat-like in a near future.

Anyway, this is a good news for us.

Hope the singularity project will win, but alongside docker this won't 
be easy.
