|
<para>
|
|
rpm-ostree (also called "atomic" if configured) is a system
|
|
software management tool that combines features of both
|
|
traditional RPM and OSTree. It has support for both server-side
|
|
composing of trees, as well as client-side upgrading and
|
|
management of deployments.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
On an rpm-ostree managed system, the traditional
|
|
<literal>yum</literal> (if installed) and <literal>rpm</literal>
|
|
tools operate in a read-only state; the RPM database is stored
|
|
in <literal>/usr/share/rpm</literal> which is underneath a
|
|
read-only bind mount.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Instead of live package-by-package upgrades, the underlying
|
|
OSTree layer replicates a complete filesystem tree from a
|
|
compose server into a new deployment, available on the next
|
|
reboot. One benefit of this is that there will always be a
|
|
previous deployment, available for rollback.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Note in this "pure replication" model, at present there is no
|
|
dependency resolution on the client machines, nor any ability to
|
|
add or remove packages. You may however use /usr/local/bin, or
|
|
an application mechanism such as
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>docker</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>.

Gives information pertaining to the current deployment in use. Lists the names and refspecs of all possible deployments in order, such that the first deployment in the list is the default upon boot. The deployment marked with * is the current booted deployment, and marking with 'r' indicates the most recent upgrade (the newest deployment version).
