I swear I tested this, but anyways https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/79 wasn't quite right. We need to look at /usr/etc/{passwd,group} for previous data. We happily noticed there was no /etc/passwd in the tree, then proceeded to do the merge and split again, with the result of an empty /usr/etc/passwd in the new tree. That in turn resulted in an empty /etc/passwd in an installed system, i.e. with no "root" user, with obvious bad consequences, namely in my case crashing Anaconda. (Yes, I will write a testsuite for this) |

rpm-ostree, aka /usr/bin/atomic
An system to compose RPMs on a server side into an OSTree repository, and a client side tool to perform updates.
The project aims to bring together a hybrid of image-like upgrade features (reliable replication, atomicity), with package-like flexibility (seeing package sets inside trees, layering, partial live updates).
rpm-ostree is in beta!
While many of the underlying technologies here are stable, if you are considering using this in your organization, you should perform a careful evaluation of the whole stack. Software updates are obviously critical, and touch on many areas of concern.
