Arch is bad and you shouldn't use it. I technically work on Fedora, but it's loving awful and I wish it didn't exist. Like one of my coworkers is working on such advanced system features as "atomic system upgrades that actually work" and "nightly test builds". http://rpm-ostree.cloud.fedoraproject.org/#/ It seems the builds currently aren't working because of a libguestfs bug preventing the images from being made? Ugh. I poked my coworker and it seems he knows about it and isn't sure what to do. He can't seem to reproduce the bug locally. http://rpm-ostree.cloud.fedoraproject.org/builds/2014/03/01/1/smoketest/ Here's an old build that shows off the system. Right now it only boots it and makes sure it gets to a valid state, but in the future we want to run automated tests that click around the system and fuzzes things and does an infinitely number of tests like "run KDE through Wayland in Hebrew and connected through bridge networking" testing all the edge cases basically. All package managers are terrible. yum is the worst program I've ever used, and nobody seems to care. dnf is faster, but it still crashes and incomprehensibly weird sometimes. Today it couldn't download any .rpm on the server even though I could right-click on the URL it was downloading and curl it in myself. But since I installed the package from a file instead of fetching from a repo, that means I'll never get updates for it, unless I pass some really dumb flag to it.

maybe you guys should use apt instead also are you saying fedora's autobuilders suck or rh's package management tools suck or both?

Correct. We've tried to fix this situation multiple times. Really, the core idea about packages is just wrong and bad. Packages have shell scripts that run as root when you install them, and you wouldn't believe the idiotic things that actually go in them that are running on your system as root when you type "yum install butts" or "rpm -Uvh butts.rpm". There's also some infighting between my team ("Desktop Experience") and the team that makes yum/abrt/dnf ("Developer Experience"). One of my coworkers wrote a thing called PackageKit, realized that yum is slow and bad and in order to do things like "search for this package name", you have to take a global lock and it takes around 3 minutes. So, he wrote his own little yum-clone using libhawkey and libsolv. You know, the things that dnf is using. He didn't want anybody to think it was a serious project, just a little toy backend, so he named it "Zero-Insertion Force" as if to say "I am not trying to get anybody to use it". https://github.com/hughsie/zif People on DevExperience team claimed he should be fired for trying to replace him, and for even thinking of besmirching the holy name of yum, because clearly yum is perfect and there are no issues with it. You don't even want to know what happened with razor: https://github.com/krh/razor

Mr Dog posted:maybe you guys should use apt instead I'm saying that the traditional way to provision a system using packages is broken and wrong, since it involves a lot of client-side shell scripts running as root, and is slow. APT/DEB has the exact same issues. pacman has the exact same issues. zypper has the exact same issues. All package managers are built on this really broken philosophy. Given the restriction of "install all these packages", it's hard to produce a useful, fast autobuilder that works correctly. So it sucks, but unless you do a drastic rethink, it's the way it's going to be.

packages are really bad and dumb and still somehow far and away the best way to do anything. rpm and deb and pacman and whatever other flavor of the week bullshit you're using are all fundamentally very similar to svr4 packaging from 1990. this is not an accident. no one has had any good ideas since then
