Will tackle this in the Hackathon next week: https://hackbox.microsoft.com/hackathons/hackathon2023/project/30944 |

Can we close this as it's done https://github.com/flatcar/scripts/blob/main/PREFIX.md even if experimental? |

Current situation
Systemd-sysext images that are not coupled to the OS version need to contain their dependencies and show not assume something about
/usr/libnor ship libraries in that path. They have to use/usr/local/or/opt/as prefix.Impact
This requires manual installation with
./configure --prefix=which is a bit hard to use.Ideal future situation
Gentoo packages could be used through the prefix option that allows to install everything to a custom path. A build helper in the SDK can use this to generate version-uncoupled (even distro independent) systemd-sysext images.
