|
<para>
|
|
rpm-ostree is a system software management tool that
|
|
combines features of both traditional RPM and
|
|
OSTree. At the moment, there are only two available
|
|
commands: <literal>upgrade</literal> and
|
|
<literal>rollback</literal>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
On an rpm-ostree managed system, the traditional
|
|
<literal>yum</literal> and <literal>rpm</literal>
|
|
tools operate in a read-only state. Instead, the
|
|
underlying OSTree layer replicates a filesystem tree
|
|
from a compose server. In this "pure replication"
|
|
model, there is no dependency resolution on the
|
|
client machines, nor any ability to add or remove
|
|
packages.
