Re: [CentOS-devel] docker and docker-latest packages on CentOS Virt SIG

**CentOS Virt SIG**

What:

• 'docker' (v1.9) http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=10878
• 'docker-latest' (v1.10)

http://cbs.centos.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=10881

• both can be installed simultaneously and don't step on each other's

toes, but only one can run at a time.

• /usr/bin/docker is a script which execs /usr/bin/docker-current

(v1.9) or /usr/bin/docker-latest (v1.10) based on what $DOCKERBINARY is set to.

Why:

• some people want v1.9 (that includes kube and openshift iiuc)
• others want later versions
• people also want to switch between versions without having to install/uninstall/reinstall

Comments?

Why don't you use alternatives https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives ? For example google-chrome-beta and google-chrome-stable uses that approach.
