Sure, that's why an application container would allow for application specific repositories (a.k.a. stores) where apps can reviewed as apps instead of system-wide swappable components. Then you can have a policy that is more suitable to apps with a different cadence than the system-wide (rpm/deb/...) repository, in fact you may not need a cadence at all. It is outrageous that it's 2013 and I still have to upgrade my whole system just to get the latest LibreOffice version to name an example. > > Kevin Kofler > -- Cheers, Alberto Ruiz -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
