      <title>Composefs - a file system for container images</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;For the last couple of weeks, I&amp;rsquo;ve been playing on a PoC implementation of a file system for the Linux kernel. The goal is to address a fundamental limitation in how container images are stored: the existing overlay model deduplicates at the layer level, but once you want per-file deduplication — so that identical files across different images share a single copy on disk and in the page cache — the current architecture gets in the way and requires awkward workarounds involving hard links or filesystem-specific reflinks.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Crun moved to github.com/containers</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;The giuseppe/crun github project was moved under &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/containers/crun&#34;&gt;https://github.com/containers/crun&lt;/a&gt;. Moving to the containers organization means the project is no longer a personal experiment but a community-maintained component of the container stack, alongside tools like Podman, Buildah, and fuse-overlayfs. This makes it easier to coordinate changes across the ecosystem and signals that crun is a supported alternative OCI runtime for production use.&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;Similarly libocispec, used internally by crun for parsing the OCI configuration file was moved to &lt;a href=&#34;https://github.com/containers/libocispec&#34;&gt;https://github.com/containers/libocispec&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
