Description

The conclusion of the research I’ve done today on Feature #11131 is that the most promising tool is RAUC once it has casync support; but a few other options could be worth investigating. Let’s wait a bit for the dust to settle, come back to it in a while and see where things are at. Then we can investigate how much work is needed to switch to one of these tools.

(We’ve put this on the roadmap for 2019 back when we thought we would be done with Feature #15281 already, but we’re not there yet. I don’t see us doing this work in 2019, so postponing.)
