Hey whaday know, it does have git. I hadn't noticed that, thanks for the tip.
The built in backup software (called vault, source code here: https://github.com/nemomobile/...) is based on git, that's why it is installed.
Anyone who watched the launch video...what is the purple water looking stuff that the camera switched to a couple times?
It is a shot from inside of the liquid oxygen tank AFAIK.
So we're stuck with either "impossible object" or "ten pounds of shit in a five pound bag".
Naming is hard, but it's not *that* hard.
You don't have much experience with data storage management, do you ? It makes much more sense in context.
etc.
Um, I don't think that is very likely:
It is based on the blivet storage management library:
https://github.com/dwlehman/bl...
Which is also used by the Anaconda Fedore/Red Hat Enterprise Linux installer:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki...
And Open LMI:
https://fedorahosted.org/openl...
But it might indeed use libparted to create the actual partitions.
"The need of a new partition manager stems from the fact that none of the existing GUI partitioning tools supports all modern storage technologies"
Does the backend -and kickstart, support all those "modern storage technologies"?
That's the important part. For a GUI-based installation, the ability to format -and install into, a single root partition is good enough for me.
Yes - the blivet storage management library supports alsmost any existing data storage technology you can come up with and then some more. Thats the reason why Blivet GUI came to be - the functionality is already there, it just needs to be exposed by a graphical user interface.
This is an email from Lennart Poettering to the Fedora Devel list dissing the Blivet GUI project due to implementation details:

So Lennart Poettering actually really is involved, but in a rather different way than you would expect.
Old programmers never die, they just hit account block limit.
