So I maintain the wiki page: https://live.gnome.org/OSTree/GnomeOSTree which is a part of the broader effort. I'e just updated it to clarify what I want to accomplish, and added a new "Non goals" section. Of these, the first two I see as of critical importance. Functional continuous integration is one of the most critical building blocks that any competent and mature software project must have, along with peer review of changes. For downstream consumers that embed GNOME inside larger software collections (e.g. Linux distributions), this sort of thing is basically purely beneficial to them. The OS/application split, well...let's just say I don't want to put my name on a future where dpkg/rpm delete the files from underneath Firefox as it's running, and the best we do is patch Firefox to say "I'm broken now!". A GNOME push in this direction does conflict with many distributions, but they are also free to ignore the technology. That's the elevator pitch I'd give to say the Debian packagers of GNOME. _______________________________________________ gnome-os-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-os-list
