[systemd-devel] systemd-sysupdate and systemd-sysext images

[Adrian Vovk]

Hi Thorsten,

If I understand correctly, you're looking for a way to distribute sysexts
such that they can be enabled/disabled, and they're updated in lock step
with each other and the base OS. Is that correct?

If so, you're looking for Optional Features [1], which will release with 257

Best,
Adrian
