I also managed to create a version of the fedora-app-build that contains all rpm macros for building app-bundled version of the fedora rpms, and i've made a copr repo that automatically builds such rpms: https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/alexl/fedora-apps/ In this copr I then built evince and gedit + their non-runtime dependencies, so that you can easily build app bundles based on these. In fact the git repo has a simple script (build-demo-apps.sh) that builds them. I pushed a new repo with these runtimes and app, so you can easily try rawhide version of gedit and evince on fedora 22 like this: xdg-app add-remote --no-gpg-verify --user fedora http://fedorapeople.org/~alexl/repo/ xdg-app install-runtime --user fedora org.fedoraproject.Platform 23 xdg-app install-runtime --user fedora org.fedoraproject.Sdk 23 xdg-app install-app --user fedora org.gnome.gedit xdg-app install-app --user fedora org.gnome.evince It seems to me that this setup is working, and with some packaging work making sure the right things are in the runtime and that any spec changes needed for building with a different prefix then we could essentially have a read-only-/usr Atomic-based Fedora Workstation that allows you to install (not-super-sandboxed) desktop apps. Proving that basically concludes my experiments though. If we really want that to happen we need more than one person kinda playing around with this. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alexander Larsson Red Hat, Inc alexl@xxxxxxxxxx alexander.larsson@xxxxxxxxx He's an uncontrollable guerilla cowboy with no name.
