Hi Dave, Very nice work. I am interested in knowing the progress of the other "Packaging and Patching strategy" you mentioned, and wondering where to participate in that discussion. For upgrade, we need to be able to do components/packages upgrade as well as system upgrade. What I am talking about is pretty much like the difference between a upgrade and a dist-upgrade in apt. For example, I want to upgrade from gnome 2.10 to 2.14 and capable to rollback if things don't work out. I guess this maybe covered in software management as well, but wonder if feature like LU can be applied for such upgrade or not. Cheers, Henry
