The high level goal is to deprecate libgsystem. I was trying to share
code between ostree/rpm-ostree, but it was too painful to commit to
forver frozen ABI for new utility APIs.
The git submodule approach will much more easily allow breaking
API/ABI, and iterate on APIs until they either land in GLib or not.
Note that libglnx will not use GFile*, so a full port to it will
involve also not using that. Thus, it will be necessarily
incremental; in the meantime we'll link to both libgsystem and
libglnx.
This is a convenient way for external tools to integrate rpm-ostree
better into automation. With the caching, it's now cheaper to
just rerun rpm-ostree if you know an input yum repository changed,
or just on a timer.
Then one can use this flag to determine whether or not to launch any
further processes after rpm-ostree, such as disk image generation,
test suites, etc.
With yum, we would have had to make a custom Python app to cleanly
separate the fetch metadata/depsolve phases from installation.
Now that libhif/hawkey gives us that, make use of it by exiting after
depsolve if the previous compose has the same package set, and the
treefile is the same. This saves a fairly substantial amount of time
and I/O, and makes it much more palatable to simply run the compose
tool on demand in response to say repo regeneration notifications.
A further important note; --cachedir is no longer used; we store the
inputhash in the OSTree commit metadata itself.
There are a lot of advantages to this. See the linked issue
for more details, but briefly:
- Lays the groundwork for package layering
- Better caching (exit compose after depsolve if no changes)
- Better error handling
- Potential for unprivileged package downloads
- Potential to better containerize installs

Maybe we should make this into an explicit error, but anyways
I somehow ended up with an empty /usr/etc/passwd in the tree
contents, I think due to bugs in earlier work there.
This causes fmemopen to return EINVAL, which errors out the
compose. Let's stumble forwards here.
Now that I think about it, it might be a valid case to have an
existant but empty /usr/etc/passwd in the tree - when we migrate to
systemd-sysusers, I think we'll want an empty file there by default.
Due to an intersection of #79 and #69, we ended up continually
accumulating copies in /usr/lib/{passwd,group}. The fix here is to
deduplicate when constructing the temporary /etc/passwd that the RPM
install will operate on.
