1) What are the advantages of flatpak/container vs RPM?

That's what will happen. Currently we distribute software for every code stream and with flatpaks we hope to reduce the burden on our maintainers and allow them to distribute it only once.

For me this kind of means we retire from the current way to deliver well tested (but maybe older) software to Leap users and deliver the latest and greatest stuff to Tumbleweed users.

13) How can someone decide to use an older, but known to be stable version of a package (say: Libreoffice 7.2.7 instead of Libreoffice 7.3.4) in ALP?

We haven't made any decisions in this regard (like with a lot of other stuff), but with flatpaks we could deliver a org.opensuse.libreoffice-stable, org.opensuse.libreoffice-beta, org.opensuse.libreoffice-nightly, etc. co running "streams". With containers we could go the already established tag route, i.e. registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/libreoffice:stable registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/libreoffice:beta registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/libreoffice:nightly Cheers, Dan -- Dan Čermák <dcermak@suse.com> Software Engineer Development tools SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH Frankenstrasse 146 90461 Nürnberg Germany (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Managing Director/Geschäftsführer: Ivo Totev, Andrew Myers, Andrew McDonald, Boudien Moerman
