We are also working on an update mechanism for containerized applications, which will allow new versions the docker images for an application to be deployed to a running system.
Is this process being used to build patches between the daily/weekly 
builds? Can we even patch between these?  If I understand this uses the 
"smart" package manager, or is that for the upgrade process?

I understand that there is not yet a process for updating the 
containers, is there a specification being worked on for describing how 
the containerized applications will be updated?
