Hello all, more and more I am liking the approach taken by SuSE snapper (incremental but atomic updates using light-weight snapshots on BTRFS) and OSTree (incremental atomic updates using a GIT like approach on the source, bsdiff for delta updates).
These are targeting -- but also require -- systems that use the "/usr merge" approach, which is a bit controversial, but seems to fit many today's use cases; embedded, containers etc. GNOME Continuous uses OpenEmbedded with OStree. Automotive Grade Linux has started to use Yocto with OSTree. Looking back in the mailing lists, I have seen interest and activities in and around OpenEmbedded Core since 2013 to support /usr merge, but I am unaware of any upstream support for this, or distro's that implement it. Am I missing something? Are there any developers here who do use OpenEmbedded with a /usr merge approach? Regards, Leon.
