I think it would be interesting to replace it with Colin's OS Container ideas. Want KDE? Install the KDE OS container layer. Creation of that is in a container file. That's a departure from traditional installations, but it's still interesting. The rub here is that comps isn't well loved, but it's not very complicated either. It's a list of packages associated with a thing, and our tools know how to interpret it. A modern replacement for "a list of things" by itself isn't going to be very ground breaking. Changing how we think about and deploy the OS gives us more interesting options. josh _______________________________________________ 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
