Let's keep the bulk of the documentation in the README in the docs site landing page instead. That way, changing text there doesn't require changing it in two places.

# rpm-ostree: A true hybrid image/package system
|
|
|
|
rpm-ostree is a hybrid image/package system. It combines
|
|
[libostree](https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) as a base image format,
|
|
and accepts RPM on both the client and server side, sharing code with the
|
|
[dnf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNF_(software)) project; specifically
|
|
[libdnf](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf). and thus bringing
|
|
many of the benefits of both together.
|
|
|
|
```

|
|
| libostree (image system) | | libdnf (pkg system) |
|
|
| | | |
|
|
| C API, hardlink fs trees, system repo, | | ties together libsolv (SAT solver) |
|
|
| commits, atomic bootloader swap | | with librepo (RPM repo downloads) |
|

|
**Features:**
|
|
|
|
- Transactional, background image-based (versioned/checksummed) upgrades
|
|
- OS rollback without affecting user data (`/usr` but not `/etc`, `/var`) via libostree
|
|
- Client-side package layering (and overrides)
|
|
- Easily make your own: `rpm-ostree compose tree` and [CoreOS Assembler](https://github.com/coreos/coreos-assembler)
