Thanks for heads up Nick.
The overall idea looks similar to Lennart's proposal:
http://0pointer.net/blog/revisiting-how-we-put-together-linux-systems.html
Which is definitely a good thing. Question is how we are going to
approach the distribution method in Fedora - we are already getting
familiar with OSTree through Atomic, but I am not sure if that's the
best way of application delivery (at least until dnf learns to pull and
install ostree images - how cool that would be:) On the other hand AFAIK
we are missing some pieces in Koji to be able to bundle like this in
RPMS - we'd need at least buildroots separated by tags (which would also
solve a problem how to build SCL, by the way..)

By way of Christian's recent post on F22 workstation plans [1],
I
found this detailed post regarding the current status of application
bundles for rich client apps:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/desktop/2015-January/011427.html
I don't currently see anything there that conflicts with anything
we're planning to do, but it's probably something we should keep an
eye on to help ensure that the developer experiences for server side
applications and rich client applications don't diverge too far.
In particular, one question I can see arising is "What's the
difference between an application runtime and a software collection?".
Is there a better answer than "you can use software collections
without needing to run them in a separate container"?
Regards,
Nick.
