The sandbox is also practical for testing software installations or verifying the actions of untrusted program installations. With RUST you can :
- Create your own RPM packages with a few mouse clicks, without having to create SPEC files.
- Create RPM packages for arbitrary source code, simply by doing a 'make install' in the sandbox and clicking 'make RPM' in the GUI. This is quite pratical when you wish to distribute software on multiple machines or want the ability to easily remove software in the future.
- Use cRUST and the sandbox (a chrooted environment), to test installations or to analyze the installation of untrusted software in a secure manner.
Rust is free and open sourced, released under the terms of the GPL. See the about page for details.
Requirements
To run RUST, you need GNOME, GTK+ and the rpm and rpm-build packages (all of which are usually included in a typical rpm based linux install).
