Fedora Atomic -------------
Since this week has been a little slow, I’m going to cheat a bit and
pull something big from the backlog. Fedora developer Colin Walters has
launched a new project called Fedora Atomic. This system constructs
git-like trees from existing official Fedora RPMs, and moves
operating-system deployment from managing packages to managing these
trees, with (as the name suggests) fully-atomic updates and rollbacks.
Reading that, and following the links, makes it seem that there
is a new buzzword, "atomic" in some sense which may be apparent to those
who use it, but isn't to me. At first, I thought it might be a typo for
"automatic."
Can you define the new Fedora-related sense in terms
comprehensible to old mossbacks? How about partially or "fully-atomic"??
