I was linking to this code from elsewhere and noticed that
for our hardlink breaks we were not using fd-relative even
though we can. Down the line if we fork librpm into a separate
process and do e.g. `--dbpath=.` it'll do it too.
(Side note, I verified that commenting out the hardlink breaking
here was caught by the `ostree fsck` I added to the test suite)

I had meant for this to be in the other PR#968. I originally did both

At one point `rpm-ostree install libvirt` dragged in libguestfs which in turn
brought in `syslinux-extlinux-nonlinux` which has files in `/boot/extlinux`,
which we rejected. (That dependency chain appears to have been fixed currently)
For the general case, this is just a partial fix in that we haven't nailed down
the semantics of how updates for `/boot` work. But in this particular case,
we'll just break libguestfs' `extlinux` verb, which I'm OK with.
Another case is `fwupdate-efi` - we require manual intervention to copy the
data into `/boot` after installing the package.
This is also preparation for [unified core](https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/729)
in that we now ensure imported kernels don't end up in `/boot` unless
explicitly configured.

Let's make using a custom install tree easier and document the process.

While working on unified core and the Fedora Atomic Host content set, I hit a
dependency between `docker.posttrans` which tries to read `/etc/os-release`, and
`fedora-release-atomichost.post` which creates that symlink.
It seems best practice to me to run `%post`s strictly before
`%posttrans`; we're not likely to do parallelization anytime
soon anyways.
While here I cleaned things up by having an enum for the script kind,
rather than multiple functions, otherwise we would have had another
wrapper in core.c.

It turns out there's a much smaller limit than PATH_MAX for Unix

This closes a longstanding bug - since package layering first
landed, we only checked for newer RPMs if the base tree changed.
In some scenarios like RHELAH, this doesn't matter much by default
since they move at the same cadence. Except if you use EPEL for example.
In Fedora, today the FAH releases are async of the rpm-md repos, and
there's also COPR which can update more than once a day even.
We should check for both update sources. Luckily we'd already introduced logic
for this in the treecompose case (checksumming the depsolved package sack). We
just need to start using it for client side assembly too.

I'm working on getting the vmcheck suite working as part of Fedora's new

i.e. with SKIP_VMOVERLAY=1. For compatibility with the testsuite, we

Eventually, we should try to make the vmcheck suite runnable outside of
a configured build directory to make it easier to re-use in such
contexts.

The rebase command syntax has confused people a lot. Let's follow
git here and add a `-b/--branch` option and encourage people to use
that. The case of switching remotes is `-m/--remote`; it's definitely
unfortunate that `-r` is already taken for `--reboot`.
One thing I'm a little bit unhappy about is how we're doing logic
on the client side here. Changing the DBus API for this would
also be awkward though.

The new API to find pending and rollback deployments do so relative to
the booted deployment. This caused an interesting behaviour: the first
time a user uses "rpm-ostree rollback", it would (as expected) move the
previous deployment first. but the second call to "rpm-ostree rollback"
would fail since there were now no more rollback deployments.
We fine tune the logic here to allow this, as well as the more general
case of putting the booted deployment back on top.
This fixes a subtle regression from b7cf58e

File triggers are a post-RHEL7 thing; more information at
http://rpm.org/user_doc/file_triggers.html
There are two notable users I've been testing this with;
`glib2` and `vagrant`. The `vagrant` one is more immediately urgent,
since it makes `vagrant-libvirt` work, which I currently rely on
for my workstation dev.
I've tested things successfully with `vagrant`, and I did verify that we run the
`glib2` ones when doing `rpm-ostree ex container`.
Long term, more transaction file triggers are likely to live in
"base" packages like `glib2`. We don't implement those yet, but
extending this to do that shouldn't be too hard.
There was *significant* what I'd call reverse engineering of the
implementation in librpm. The file triggers code there is spread out
and abstracted in a few different places in the code. I found
trying to understand what header values were involved to be quite
tricky.
There are some corner cases like multiple patterns that I *think*
this does correctly, but could use more validation. The main
question I had was - is it required that the patterns for e.g.
`%transfiletriggerin` and `%transfiletriggerun` be identical?

Follow-up tweak to #894. Make the client smarter so we only register
when we know we can. We could be more sophisticated here and e.g.

least until the daemon learns to auto-exit.

This is a followup to https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/888
but more comprehensive; in the layering case, the sanitycheck runs
after all the `%posttrans` scripts, so we'll get a consistent error message
for the `rm -rf /` test.
We also do the sanitycheck for the "pure ostree" case, as well as cases
where we didn't actually layer packages (including `ex override remove` as
well as simply regenerating an initrd).
There's obviously a lot more we could do in a sanitycheck; as I say in the
comment it's tempting to consider trying to boot systemd (in a fully volatile
config), but for now let's do this. In the end of course the admin has rollback
too.

For https://pagure.io/atomic-wg/issue/299 we need to make it
more convenient to substitute the architecture in an installation
context. I plan to use this API inside `rpmostreepayload` in Anaconda,
so we can substitute the same value of `${basearch}` we use in treefiles
since https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/305
Now, you might wonder - why do we need an API wrapping libdnf? It's because
libdnf is not API stable yet. We're just exposing a tiny subset. In theory we
could use the Python dnf bindings in Anaconda, but things get slightly weird if
rpmostreepayload depends on dnf. Perhaps we'll do that down the road, but for
now this a small API surface to maintain (forever).
This change reworks the internal `varsubst` bits to take a pure `DnfContext`,
since we don't want to spin up a whole `RpmOstreeContext` just to do some
string substitutions.

I was thinking today about our script handling, and I realized
an excellent way to showcase the advancement rpm-ostree makes
over traditional package managers is the fact that we survive a
`%post` script that does `rm -rf /`!
See e.g. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=858521
It's been this way ever since we first implemented package layering;
the fact that we construct a new root and use bubblewrap to sandbox
makes us very resilient to this type of thing.
But, let's add a test case for this to be sure we preserve this behavior; for
example, if in the future we for some reason we decide to leak some host state
into the scripts.

This is required for glibc-all-langpacks at least:

Otherwise, its usage is...extraordinarily rare. In fact looking at a snapshot of
`rpm-specs-20170518.tar.xz` from Fedora, the only other use is in
`postfix.spec`, and it appears bogus (the value is already expanded at build
time).
But the glibc case is special, as the value of `install_langs` is indeed
potentially dynamic per system.

We can be a bit less wasteful here by merging the check and vmcheck
suites into a single suite. The check suite today takes a negligible
amount of time to run, so we're not gaining much by parallelizing them.
It's more of a sanity check at this point before we start vmcheck.
Also start running vmcheck on CentOS 7. We adapt the ci scripts to
accomodate both Fedora and CentOS target machines.

Add experimental support for replacing packages from the base layer with
local RPMs. This is useful for example, to cherry pick a fixed package,
or to roll back to a previous package version. Like with pkg removals,
only files in /usr are actually replaced.

showing the full NEVRA of removed packages rather than just their names,
and support for resetting overrides using either the pkgname or NEVRA.

Seen in the wild with `vagrant`'s use of `%post -p /usr/bin/ruby`. This was a
very easy fix, and actually makes the code a little bit nicer, as we no longer
need to explicitly make the script executable, since we now pass it as
`argv[1]`, the same way librpm does. That in turn would make it possible to fix
the TODO and use `bwrap --file`, but that can come later.

Having to prepare RPMs in advance separately from the tests that use
them severely limits our ability to test various cases and to iterate
quickly when creating tests.
Add a new `build_rpm` function which can basically build the RPM on the
fly and update the yum repo afterwards. It makes it trivial to test
things like package updates:
build_rpm foo 1.0 1

build_rpm foo 1.0 2
<stuff>
The RPMs are all created inside the temporary test directory and thus
cleaned up on exit.
I'm doing this in a separate commit because it's the most important diff
of the transition and might be easy to lose in the larger diff where we
move all the tests to make use of this.

The property of removal overrides dropping out if the package was
removed from the base layer felt a bit too magical and hacky. We really
should remember that wish and re-apply it if the pkg comes back. This is
similar to package layering: requests can become inactive (seems like a
better word than "dormant") if the package is already part of the base
layer, but they don't really go away.
This patch reworks the logic so that removal overrides work the same
way. In the status output, we now have both "RemovedBasePackages" and
"InactiveBaseRemovals" (which is only printed in verbose mode),
similarly to how we have "LayeredPackages" and "InactiveRequests". And
similarly, we also print out in the upgrader during a transaction all
the inactive base removals.
Another cool thing is that we now allow any pattern to be specified at
the CLI. E.g. `ex override remove /usr/bin/strace` will resolve to
strace.

There are a few reasons to do this. First, systemd changed to refuse mounts on
symlinks, and hence if one *wants* "/tmp-on-tmpfs", one would need to write a
different `sysroot-tmp.mount` unit.
Second, the original rationale for having this symlink was that if you had
multiple ostree stateroots ("osnames"), it's nicer if they had the same `/tmp`
to avoid duplication. But in practice today that's already an issue due to
`/var/tmp`, and further the multiple-stateroot case is pretty unusual. And that
case is *further* broken by SELinux (if one wanted to have e.g. an Ubuntu and
Fedora) stateroots. So let's fully decouple this and make `/tmp` a plain
old directory by default, so systemd's `tmp.mount` can become useful.
Now, things get interesting for the case where someone wants a physical `/tmp`
that *does* persist across reboots. Right now, if one just did a `systemctl mask
tmp.mount` as we do in Fedora Atomic Host's cloud images, you'd get a semantic
where `/tmp` stays per-deployment, which is weird. Our recommendation for
that should likely be to set up a bind mount for `/tmp` → `/var/tmp`.
For now, this stays an option to ensure compatibility; if FAH Cloud images
want to stay with "physical /tmp", then we'd have to change the kickstart.

This was a kind of last-minute bug introduced when I tweaked the
checkout to use `.` to avoid a `mkdir()` for files. But there were
multiple bugs with that; for files that are in subdirectories of `/etc`
we obviously need to get the right subdir and not use `/etc`.
Second, we need to handle the case where we're adding new subdirectories.

There are a few different use cases here. First, for layering new packages,
there's no good reason for us to force a reboot. Second, we want some support
for cherry-picking security updates and allowing admins to restart services. Finally,
at some point we should offer support for entirely replacing the running tree
if that's what the user wants.
Until now we've been very conservative, but there's a spectrum here. In
particular, this patch changes things so we push a rollback before we start
doing anything live. I think in practice, many use cases would be totally fine
with doing most changes live, and falling back to the rollback if something went
wrong.
This initial code drop *only* supports live layering of new packages. However,
a lot of the base infrastructure is laid for future work.
For now, this will be classified as an experimental feature, hence `ex livefs`.

Now that rpm-ostree operations are cumulative, we need to make sure we

recreate it from the original ref.

This is a follow-up to commit 77acf62. There, we added support for
rebasing from a local branch to another local branch. But in testing,
it's also really useful to be able to rebase from a remote-based refspec
to a local branch. We allow this here by slightly expanding the syntax
of allowed refspecs.
Now, we can use rpm-ostree all the time rather than fallback to `ostree
admin deploy`, which isn't pkg-aware.

Conceptually: we're going to move rpm-ostree and ostree at the same
cadence most of the time; for both releases *and* for git master.
The problem so far has been the latter part. Reusing FAHC
for the build gets us half of the problem.
The other trick I realized we can do - just pull ostree out from the build
container. This avoids fetching it from the internet, and makes my workflow for
hacking on both nicer - I just `sudo make install` in my build container for
ostree.
It's tempting to make the whole thing symmetric and require `sudo make install`
for rpm-ostree and not do the insttree thing but...perhaps after.

Basically, every use of `%pretrans` is a workaround for some in-place
upgrade problem. But we never do inplace updates, we always assemble
a new tree. Hence, there is no point for us to ever execute these.
Let's stop erroring out on them. If there does turn out to be some problem with

likely end up needing to fix that package's `%post`, not start executing its

There's no point to shipping these backup files in the base tree. We already had
code to delete them for the package layering case where they caused active harm.
At the point we added that code we really should have *also* changed treecompose

The reason I'm doing this now is because having them in the base tree causes `ex

as if it does, because the layering code deletes the backup files.

I'd like to embed structured metadata about the originating git
repository. See [this example](https://pagure.io/fedora-atomic-host-continuous/c/142b12020d7efe18b56d039304efea102a210790?branch=master). However, I think what we really
want here is a *single* value which has subkeys.
One thing in the back of my mind too is...we could use this to
enhance our "change detection". Right now we checksum the sack,
treefile, and treecompose-post. But down the line, I'd
like to support more sophisticated postprocessing, where the
script might reference external files or the like.
In that case, we could stop checksumming the post script, and rely on whether or
not the git repo changed. (This would conversely mean we would do a build even
if e.g. the repo's `README.md` changed, but we can address that with a
post-assemble content check).
Anyways though, for now, this gets us the ability to more easily drop more
structured metadata in the commit, whether it's input git repos, tests that
passed, etc.
Note a trap that bit me here: since the metadata we write here is *host* endian,
but `ostree show --raw` byteswaps (it needs to since the core ostree variant
is always big endian), we get inverted numbers if the host is little.
I think we should probably canonicalize our metadata to big endian; this should
be pretty backwards compatible since I doubt anyone has been adding raw numbers
so far.

1. Don't require an ssh-config
In the case of redhat-ci, the VMs are already fully configured for the

there's no need to have an ssh-config there. In general, it should be
acceptable to run the vmcheck suite against a resolvable host without
having to create an ssh-config for it.
2. Make the host name configurable
Rather than hardcoding "vmcheck" as the hostname, allow overridding it
by specifying a VM env var directly. We also prepare the various scripts
to make use of the $VM variable whenever host-specific dirs/files are
created so that parallel runs won't step on each other.

We start by adding support in the core for installing packages strictly
from the cache repo. We fool the libdnf stack by re-exporting the header
as an RPM, and explicitly marking it for install. The treefile format
supports specifying the expected SHA-256 of the metadata header, in case
the cache for a specific NEVRA changed.

While reading a recent conversation about GPG checking at treecompose
time, I had a sudden thought - were we actually doing verification
client side? Turned out, we aren't. That happens as part of
`dnf_transaction_commit()` which we don't use.
That function verifies every package at one go, but for us I think it's better
to do it before "importing". We shouldn't have untrusted bits that we've
unpacked (they might have suid binaries, for one thing).
This is an embarassing problem, but it's worth emphasizing that everyone should
be retrieving repodata at a minimum over TLS, which sets a baseline. On RHEL, we
already do pinned TLS, and there are discussions about extending that elsewhere.

On the first call to vmsync/vmoverlay, we do an immediate vm_ssh_wait()
to check if we have a live VM. However, we don't necessarily have a
working rpm-ostree in there if we're hacking on stuff. It gets annoying
to wait for the timeout there.
Let's just work around that by instead only calling status if we got
there through vm_reboot_cmd(), which is most likely when we're most
interested in the status output anyway.

See https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/233 - for RPMs which

Since the unpacker right now is only used in the layering case, this just

Until now, we always used the booted deployment, and would
garbage collect the "pending" deployment. This is the
way OSTree was designed, but I think for rpm-ostree given
how mutable we are on the client side, there's a much stronger
argument for being more stateful too.
This is a relatively simple code change to split the "merge deployment"
concept into two. There's now the "config merge deployment" and the
"origin merge deployment".
Basically, `rpm-ostree install foo; rpm-ostree install bar` will
now install both `foo` and `bar`. But we will still use the booted
deployment for `/etc`.
Down the line, I think I'd like to drive into OSTree the concept of
a "staged" deployment, that has the hardlink checkout done, but doesn't
have the config merge.
But we don't need to change the OSTree core for this yet; we can
do it here in rpm-ostree, and this relatively simple code change
fixes many issues at once.
For example, `rpm-ostree upgrade && rpm-ostree install foo` now
does what you expect as well.
Obviously, we want to enable doing multiple things in *one* transaction,
and we're not far away, but I think this is also the right thing to do now.
I'm relatively confident it won't break anyone's workflow, as what
we did before wasn't generally that useful. However, people will
need to learn to `ostree admin undeploy 0` if they *don't* want
this behavior. (We need to have `rpm-ostree cleanup`).

I'm watching https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf/pull/199 and I
really don't like it. We already have a place to put out-of-rpmdb metadata,
which is in the ostree commit for imported packages. No need to involve a
relational database for this (and further, one that would need to learn about
multiple ostrees).
We're not yet *using* this information in the UI, but we could; imagine
changing the `status` `Packages:` to show packages-per-repo or so. We
could also expose an `rpm-ostree pkg-info foo`.
But for now, let's just start recording this.

One thing that's very confusing about OSTree is there are two layers -
deployments and the refs/commits. If one does an `rpm-ostree upgrade`, but then
e.g. `ostree admin undeploy 0`, you still have the new revision in the repo.
We don't do a good job of displaying this state, or helping people clean
it up.
Down the line, I also want to better support something like `rpm-ostree pull` to
cache updates explicitly *without* deploying.
This commit just adds a bit of information to the status display. We might want
to have better formatting, but I think this an OK start.

The actual problem I am trying to fix with this is fallout from the
introduction of `/usr/libexec/rpm-ostreed`, which required a SELinux
policy change. Specifically for CentOS, the base policy is rev'd
slowly.
My hope was that by merging the daemon code back into `/usr/bin/rpm-ostree`
which is labeled `install_exec_t`, starting via systemd would do
the right thing. It turns out that doesn't happen.
Now later, I'm picking this patch back up because I want to do multprocessing in
the daemon (and in the core), and it makes sense to share code between them,
because multiprocessing will need to go through a re-exec path.
Another benefit is we avoid duplicated text (libglnx, internal helpers) between
the two binaries.

When we checked out the base tree for package layering, we would create
the directory in which ostree did the checkout. This meant however that
ostree wouldn't apply xattrs on the root directory itself. This would
cause the directory to be mislabeled (as system_conf_t instead of
root_t), which in turn cause SELinux violations on reboot when systemd
tried to make the root mount shared.
This patch fixes this by first settling on a permanent directory in
which to do checkouts -- really, we'll never have multiple package
layering operations going on at the same time. Once we know that we have
a reserved path, we can safely let ostree create it for us with the
proper xattrs.

Currently we push for a model where the initramfs is
generated (in non-hostonly mode), and merely replicated.
However, to support a few unfortunate corner cases like dm-multipath which wants
to inject a config file into the initramfs, we need to support regenerating it
client side too.
Down the line, we'll need this to support overriding the kernel too.
This changes things in the core to add the concept of an "empty"
`RpmOstreeContext`. I initially tried skipping it, but that was too much
duplication. We still want all of the core ostree-related logic that lives in
that code too.
The treespec bits barfed if the spec didn't have a `tree/packages` key. It was
simplest to change that to allow it - and because that was the only case where
we errored out in parsing, I dropped the error handling.
There was another place in the upgrader that now needed to be fixed to handle
transitioning from just regenerating initramfs to not.

Working on initramfs, I hit a subtle issue with the fact that
I was trying to "redeploy", but with the origin file changed
during the process.
Previously, it was a bit unclear which parts of the upgrader logic are operating
on the *new* origin versus the "original origin".
The package layering code in the upgrader explicitly carries a delta on top in
the "add/remove" hash sets, which means it isn't visible to
`rpmostree_origin_is_locally_assembled()`.
Whereas for initramfs, I set a new origin. This broke things since we were
expecting to find a parent commit, but the original origin wasn't locally
assembled.
When looking more at this, I realized there's a far simpler model -
rather than keeping track of commit + origin, and using the origin
to try to determine whether or not the commit is layered, we can
keep track of `base_revision` and `final_revision`, and the latter
is only set if we're doing layering.
The diff speaks for itself here - a lot of fragile logic looking at the origin
drops away.
The next step here is probably to drop away the package layering hash sets, but
I'm trying to not change everything at once.

During a deploy operation, we would fetch commit objects from the remote
to resolve the version string. If gpg-verify was turned on, we would
fail to pull them if some of the commits were not signed. This is
because we pulled them in batches. We partially address this by only
fetching the HEAD commit on the first pass. This allows `upgrade`
operations to work just as well as `deploy` operations.
Though there is still an issue if we have to traverse farther back than
when signed commits become unsigned (unless they happen to fall on a
batch boundary). We leave that unsolved for now, since that would likely
require a more complex solution and it's not clear whether it's a real
world issue (signers can just retroactively sign commits).

Expand the available options in the Rebase() D-Bus method to also have a
"revision" key. Its value has the same semantics as the "revision" key
in the Deploy() method (e.g. the "revision=" and "version=" prefixes are
also supported). Also expand the rebase CLI to allow for specifying the
revision as an additional argument.
This allows users to rebase to a specific version or checksum, rather
than only to the latest. Conceptually, this is the equivalent of doing a
rebase followed by a deploy. I.e. we specify an override-commit in the
origin and expect the same behaviours that apply after a deploy to also
apply here.

My development environment is now using "pet" docker containers.
I use VMs for testing things that require that (like rpm-ostree).
This patch builds on work from @jlebon in
https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/509
to rework `vmcheck` such that it can work on any `ssh-config`. By
default we expect this to be Vagrant.
However, I go a lot farther and delete the `vmbuild` code that was
trying to do builds in a container on the target VM. I think this is
still worth pursuing at some point, but for now I think it's
reasonable to assume that the rpm-ostree developer audience uses Linux
as their host workstation and hence has containers.
(There's another important point here in that for developing lower
level things like rpm-ostree, there's a strong push to make the VM
disposable and not a pet)

We further split libvm from vagrant. It no longer does 'vagrant
ssh-config'. Instead, it always assumes that an ssh-config is provided.
We now have complete separation of libvm from vagrant.
We change the ansible provisioner as follows:
- Allow passing in a VAGRANT_BOX env var to override the default
CentOS box.
- No longer assume that the root user account is unlocked and has a
valid 'vagrant' password. This worked for the centos box but isn't
sure to work on every box. Instead, we now just run ansible as the
default vagrant user, and during provisioning set up the root
account and generate an ssh-config so that libvm can connect
directly as root.
- No longer build the buildimg during provisioning. This actually
stopped working a while ago since the default rsync is disabled. We
can just let the buildimg get created on the first compilation. In
practice, the bigger issue isn't creating the buildimg, but being
able to easily update the host and buildimg pkgs.

This works around a potential issue with libsolv if we go down the
rpmostree_get_pkglist_for_root() path. Though rpm has been using the
/usr/share/rpm location (since the RpmOstreeContext set the _dbpath
macro), the /var/lib/rpm directory will still exist, but be empty.
libsolv gets confused because it sees the /var/lib/rpm dir and doesn't
even try the /usr/share/rpm location, and eventually dies when it tries
to load the data.
So we set the symlink now. This is also what we do on boot anyway for
compatibility reasons using tmpfiles.
This also means we don't have to do the /var/lib/rpm --> /usr/share/rpm
transition during the rootfs postprocess (but we still have to clean up
db and lock files).
Also get rid of the unused pkglist variable.

When running the tests by hand, I wanted to be able to source
`libtest.sh` from a running shell. Make this slightly easier by
allowing one to set `SRCDIR`, since `$0` won't work.
The libtest.sh script is aware of whether a tmpdir needs to be created
or not for the test. Make use of this in setup-session.sh so that we're
sure we're in the right directory before creating the sysroot dir.
Running `make check` would fail because test-ucontainer.sh uses
test-repo, which points directly to the installed_testdir, where it is
not installed yet.
We make another processed version of test-repo.repo.in which instead
points to the repo in the srcdir and make use of that in
test-ucontainer.sh.
There are probably other ways of solving this, but this is the one that
jumped out at me.
For the same reasons as described in GNOME/ostree#187. In summary: we
want to make it easy for testers to clean up after we're done by not
setting the immutable flag.
Note that I had to also add it to setup-session.sh so that the daemon
inherited the env var. The libtest.sh hunk is redundant in that case,
but still necessary if the tests are run directly.
The assert[_not]_file_has_content functions used grep to check the
pattern against the content. This meant that the '.' characters are
interpreted as "any char". Yesterday, the date was 20150910 and thus the
otheros' tree's version was labelled as such. This date also happens to
match the 1.0.10 pattern, and thus caused the test to fail.
This patch makes sure this doesn't happen again by escaping all the dots
to make them literal.
Unfortunately RHEL 7 has an older version of dbus, and I use it as a

This is a *third* implementation of rpm database diffs in the code,

The `QueryResult` class ended up being too awkward; having NEVRA
strings meant for example that clients would have to parse them. It
would be harder to present something like the current `rpm-ostree
upgrade` package diff output.
Now...I debated quite a while before doing this patch. The thing
that's really awful about creating this library is there are *SO MANY*
layers. rpm-ostree → libhif → hawkey → libsolv → librpm. It's enough
to make one question whether one is actually accomplishing anything or
just contributing to a collective insanity...
Let's pretend for now it's the former.

This will help build release engineering and other types of tools;
for example, rather than parsing the output of `db diff`, one
should be able to call an API.
Initially, this adds the generic infrastructure for a public shared
library, with a new function call to do the equivalent of `rpm -qa` on
a particular OSTree commit.

A local yum repository, which contains a dummy .rpm package adding
support for programs needed by the post-process phase, is created as
part of the test.
Since no libc is present, the empty.c program (which is a no-op)
directly invokes the interrupt 0x80 to exit.
The test works only on x86_64, it is skipped on other architectures.
