Jonathan Lebon	577aef98e2	app: spawn polkit authentication agent Spawn pkttyagent when trying to call a method that may require authentication to give users a chance to provide auth right from the terminal. Since we're now relying on polkit for authorizing most of the OS interface methods, let's drop the root check on those. Closes: #894 Approved by: cgwalters	2017-07-27 17:10:41 +00:00
Jonathan Lebon	5b541f4859	app: support `ex override replace` for local RPMs 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. This patch also contains a few usability improvements as well, e.g. showing the full NEVRA of removed packages rather than just their names, and support for resetting overrides using either the pkgname or NEVRA.

Jonathan Lebon	cde3295e26	app: add experimental support for pkg removals This is one more step towards making rpm-ostree more powerful in its quest to be the ultimate hybrid image/package system. Package layering allows us to add packages on top of the base package set received from the content provider. However, we're not able to remove or replace packages in the base set itself. This patch introduces a new `override` command, which is for now nested under the experimental `ex` command. The `override` command will allow users to modify the base package set itself. The first implemented subcommands are `remove` and `reset`. A stub has been provided for the more useful `replace` subcommand, though much of the needed logic for that operation are implemented in this patch as part of the `remove` subcommand.

Spawn pkttyagent when trying to call a method that may require
authentication to give users a chance to provide auth right from the
terminal.

Since we're now relying on polkit for authorizing most of the OS
interface methods, let's drop the root check on those.

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.

This patch also contains a few usability improvements as well, e.g.
showing the full NEVRA of removed packages rather than just their names,
and support for resetting overrides using either the pkgname or NEVRA.

app: add experimental support for pkg removals

This is one more step towards making rpm-ostree more powerful in its
quest to be the ultimate *hybrid* image/package system. Package layering
allows us to add packages on top of the base package set received from
the content provider. However, we're not able to remove or replace
packages in the base set itself.

This patch introduces a new `override` command, which is for now nested
under the experimental `ex` command. The `override` command will allow
users to modify the base package set itself. The first implemented
subcommands are `remove` and `reset`.

A stub has been provided for the more useful `replace` subcommand,
though much of the needed logic for that operation are implemented in
this patch as part of the `remove` subcommand.
