This is precisely what https://wiki.gnome.org/OSTree is designed to do, and has been doing quite successfully for gnome-continuous for over a year now. It really works. You don't need any special features at the block/filesystem layer. (And not just two systems - you can easily have 50 installed, and bisect between them) It is however far harder to slide it underneath yum/rpm, but if anyone is interested in working on this please do drop by the ostree-list@xxxxxxxxx list. There are people who are working on this for dpkg and Arch linux packages. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
