Our tooling has been broken for a long time and contributions to that tooling is just not going to happen since nobody can run this stuff outside of Fedora infrastructure.

OSTree and "container-delta" stuff is not generally useful or applicable for Fedora users and they won't be for a very long time. And they might never be useful because OSTree's approach requires us to use OSTree remotes (which we're killing for OCI remotes), and there's no standard for "container-delta" since the baseline OCI format isn't amenable to delta fetching. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
