So I was trying to hack on my host's copy of rpm-ostree inside a pet docker container, but ran into a conflict with libhif since dnf uses it. I think we basically need to *always* build the bundled path, rather than what I'm doing with CAHC and FADC where it's built as a regular RPM. It's not really sustainable right now for us to have both bundled and not-bundled build paths - and we need to support co-installation with dnf. Another major issue is that we want to version lock with libhif - right now our CI and both CAHC/FADC track libhif master, but that means everything breaks if libhif breaks and we don't immediately port. git submodules solve all of these problems - the same as we're doing with libglnx. libglnx is *designed* for use as a git submodule, where as libhif needs to support being both bundled and not-bundled. So we end up with some hacks on our side, but I think it's all not too bad. I've marked build rules with `# bundled libhif` so we know where to find them later when libhif is stable.

# rpm-ostree Overview
|
|
|
|
New! See the docs online at [Read The Docs (rpm-ostree)](https://rpm-ostree.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ )
|
|
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
rpm-ostree is a hybrid image/package system. It uses
|
|
[OSTree](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/OSTree) as an image format,
|
|
and uses RPM as a component model.
|
|
|
|
The project aims to bring together a hybrid of image-like upgrade
|
|
features (reliable replication, atomicity), with package-like
|
|
flexibility (introspecting trees to find package sets, package
|
|
layering, partial live updates).
|
|
|
|
**Features:**
|
|
|
|
- Atomic upgrades and rollback for host system updates
|
|
- A server side tool to consume RPMs and commit them to an OSTree repository
|
|
- A system daemon to consume ostree commits as updates

Projects using rpm-ostree
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
[Project Atomic](http://www.projectatomic.io/) uses rpm-ostree to
|
|
provide a minimal host for Docker formatted Linux containers.
|
|
Replicating a base immutable OS, then using Docker for applications.
