For that matter, as a user how will this affect my 'zypper this', 'zypper that' (sounds awful, pardon me!) habits?
No clue - if openSUSE builds something transactional, then those 'zypper this' habits might become 'transactional-update this' and 'podman this' habits.
If openSUSE builds a Desktop that is very flatpak centric, then those 'zypper this' habits might become 'flatpak this' (or picking nice stuff in GNOME Software's UI) habits
If openSUSE builds something old fashioned, the 'zypper this' habits would say
And maybe someone will develop something entirely different
I've got no idea until people answer the core question of my post..what do we want to build?
If we do end up in a hybrid world with a mix of rpm and flatpak it'd be great if someone wrote an abstraction layer so both could be updated at the same time and you could just run "foo install firefox" and get firefox from the right location depending on the product your using. Again while I think this would be ideal I haven't needed it enough to write anything myself but it would be a great hackweek idea for next time. On the other hand to date the number of podman containers I personally use is low enough that I normally just write a systemd service for each and am done with it. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
