Jonathan Lebon 87ab4fafb6 libpriv: Add simpler base layer getter
In the majority of cases, we just want to know if a deployment is
layered and what the base commit is. Make a simpler accessor for this.
We can further simplify the logic on the client side here by relying on
the fact that there is only a base layer iif we're layered, so we don't
need two output variables.

I find it also makes things much easier to grok in some places, e.g. in
`rpmostreed-deployment-utils.c`, we now have:

    const char *current_base_checksum = current_base_checksum_owned ?: current_checksum;

which better crystallizes what we want to get at.

Or e.g. in the sysroot upgrader, we can drop a comment which states
something that is now completely obvious.

Closes: #1560

rpm-ostree: A true hybrid image/package system

rpm-ostree combines libostree (an image system), with libdnf (a package system), bringing many of the benefits of both together.

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

Projects using rpm-ostree

Project Atomic is an umbrella project for delivering upstream container technologies and combined with a minimized, atomically upgradable host system to Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS.

rpm-ostree is the underlying technology for host updates. The headlining project is "Atomic Host", which is a server variant oriented towards running Linux containers using e.g. Kubernetes. However, there is now also a Workstation variant, showing the full generality of the rpm-ostree model.

Talks and media

A number of Project Atomic talks are available; see for example this post which has a bigger collection that also includes talks on containers.
