Currently the systemd RPM ships with default.target -> graphical.target, which is either itself changed by Anaconda (via parsing /etc/sysconfig/desktop, which...anyways let's stop here). Or anaconda might set it directly to multi-user.target. For rpm-ostree, we perform some minimal level of "preconfiguration" per tree, so they are directly usable without an intervening installer. As an example for fedora-atomic/base/core, we just want multi-user.target. Thus, this patch provides the treefile author a declarative mechanism to set it. |

rpm-ostree
This tool takes a set of packages, and commits them to an OSTree repository. At the moment, it is intended for use on build servers.
Major changes since 2014.8
The previous major release of this program contained within it an "autobuilder" codebase which had significant functionality beyond just composing trees, such as creating VM disk images and running smoketests.
Since that time, the other functionality has moved to: https://github.com/cgwalters/rpm-ostree-toolbox
This program now only commits trees to a repository, using "treefiles" which are very simple JSON input data.
Installing and setting up a repository
First, unfortunately you must disable SELinux on the build host in order to support SELinux on the built system. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1060423
Second, you must install nss-altfiles on the host system, and
edit your /etc/nsswitch.conf to include altfiles, like this:
passwd: files altfiles
group: files altfiles
You may or may not be using SSSD (and thus the sss option); if you
are then it should look like:
passwd: files altfiles sss
group: files altfiles sss
For more information, see: http://lists.rpm.org/pipermail/rpm-maint/2014-January/003652.html
There are packages available in the rpm-ostree COPR: http://copr-fe.cloud.fedoraproject.org/coprs/walters/rpm-ostree/
At the moment, all of the tooling except for the patched
shadow-utils is in Fedora rawhide.
Once you have that done, choose a build directory. Here we'll use /srv/rpm-ostree.
# cd /srv/rpm-ostree
# mkdir repo
# ostree --repo=repo init --mode=archive-z2
Running rpm-ostree
The core "rpm-ostree tree compose" builtin as input a "treefile". See
examples in doc/treefile-examples, as well as doc/treefile.md.
# rpm-ostree compose tree --repo=/srv/rpm-ostree/repo --proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8123 sometreefile.json
All this does is use yum to download RPMs from the referenced repos,
and commit the result to the OSTree repository, using the ref named by
ref. Note that we've specified a local caching proxy (polipo in
this case) - otherwise we you will download the packages for each
treecompose.
You can export /srv/rpm-ostree/repo via any static webserver.
The use of --proxy is not mandatory but strongly recommended - with
this option you can avoid continually redownloading the packages every
compose. I personally use
Polipo,
but you can of course any HTTP proxy you wish.
