AND the ability to roll back, to choose beta or stable streams, etc. For example, the Google Play app store, you can check a box to opt in to beta versions of an app you're interested in following the bleeding edge of. It'd be awesome to do that in Fedora. We *could* do that with traditional packaging, but in practice doing it well seems like at least as much work as the flatpak bundle approach — and we still wouldn't get the update advantage. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
