chisel

Chisel can derive a minimal Ubuntu-like Linux distribution
using a release database that defines "slices" of existing packages.
Slices enable developers to cherry-pick just the files they need
from the Ubuntu archives, and combine them to create a new
filesystem which can be packaged into an OCI-compliant
container image or similar.

This snap can only install the slices in a location inside the
user $HOME directory i.e. the --root option in "cut" command
should have a location inside the user $HOME directory.
