This is what https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree is all about of course. As used by https://getfedora.org/coreos/ , Fedora Silverblue and RHEL CoreOS/OpenShift 4. (And that said in practice paired with pulling container images, not RPMs as well; though rpm-ostree still allows layering and overrides for the host if you choose to opt-in to that, which is a major difference from shipping a tarball around) _______________________________________________ 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
