I can't accept to endorse problem I didn't create ! When yo run rm -r
on a dir with mounted dir into it, it erases all. rm -r **IS**
dangerous, it's in all GNU/Linux manuals, and everybody using shell
experimented this at least one time... We created this sandbox manually
and we don't have any clue about why it stopped to works. My
scripts where not used to manage it, so how can you say it's their
fault ???

Yes. We success to create this sandbox and run tazwok cook-toolchain
into it two days ago. A bug in the last release prevented to run the
cook-toolchain until end, so I fixed it and as I tell you I builded a
toolchain successfully with this fix; and now you want to let fall
all we did to make it works and use it in a way nobody tried... Are you
gonna to tell it's my bad if it didn't works then ? (ok, it's ironic,
I'm sure that no)
So my suggestion is getting back this sandbox, cook the toolchain as
planned, cook packages we need to make iso and release them, then cook
the whole repository :)
