Post #3157145

@luana@wetdry.world @fossdd@chaos.social some safeguards need to be in place (like if you enable the overlayfs to modify stuff in /usr or install packages any changes would be lost on system upgrade (but we can re-install the packages probably)) but it should totally be possible to switch UIs just by switching update channel regarding image building stuff, i am hoping we'll switch to mkosi for this at some point in the future, which would make it more or less fully declarative. the main blocker for being 100% declarative is that Alpine repos don't keep around old versions of packages. I'd like to see if this is something we could add so that you could be like "hey build an image using the package versions at *this* aports commit" and it would do it, just like nixpkgs does.
