Atomic Updates - do we follow traditional model or a new one?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hey all,

One of the things that came out of the weekly meeting with infra/releng
and folks working on Atomic is what I think may be a mis-match in
expectations on upgrades/release process for the Atomic host.

As called out in the host definition[1] Atomic is planned as a rolling
stream of updates - and users are expected to move to the next release
in the stream rather than staying on a specific version or having to
carry an overlapping stream.

That is: If you're on Fedora 21 Atomic, when Fedora 22 Atomic is
released then that would be what you switch to - not a Fedora 21 tree.

I know for CentOS Atomic we won't be maintaining a set of overlapping
releases, and I don't think RHEL will either. That sort of defeats the
model, really. (Also, there's not exactly an upgrade for Atomic
something like F21->F22 if there are multiple trees, eventually you
would have to manually switch trees if we were producing overlapping sets.)

In discussing this in today's meeting[2], Dennis suggested we'd need to
go to FESCo to get agreement that we can pursue the non-overlapping
model. Before I do that, I wanted to make sure we were all in agreement
that is the way to go.

Thoughts, comments, flames?
