Ah yes. I spent like 2 solid months working on all that only to have it not actually be used... So backing up a level, really the question is: What is the "center of gravity"? Is it rpms, or ostree, or containers? This Change isn't answering that question decisively, but it is a large move closer to OCI/Docker containers. > We've already got great RPM infrastructure.

Mmm, I don't see a big problem with having a distinct rpm-ostree-countme.timer, it's not a lot of code. But your reply is so far skipping over really the biggest change: making it a first class operation to build *derived* images using any Docker/OCI build system. For a lot of people that will be Dockerfile, but if you follow the CoreOS proposal we are actively discussing a more declarative/intelligent frontend. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
