Colin Walters 694b798c73 Introduce experimental "rpm-ostree jigdo"
Tracking issue: https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/1081

To briefly recap: Let's experiment with doing ostree-in-RPM, basically the
"compose" process injects additional data (SELinux labels for example) in an
"ostree image" RPM, like `fedora-atomic-host-27.8-1.x86_64.rpm`. That "ostree
image" RPM will contain the OSTree commit+metadata, and tell us what RPMs we
need need to download. For updates, like `yum update` we only download changed
RPMs, plus the new "oirpm". But SELinux labeling, depsolving, etc. are still
done server side, and we still have a reliable OSTree commit checksum.

This is a lot like [Jigdo](http://atterer.org/jigdo/)

Here we fully demonstrate the concept working end-to-end; we use the
"traditional" `compose tree` to commit a bunch of RPMs to an OSTree repo, which
has a checksum, version etc. Then the new `ex commit2jigdo` generates the
"oirpm". This is the "server side" operation. Next simulating the client side,
`jigdo2commit` takes the OIRPM and uses it and downloads the "jigdo set" RPMs,
fully regenerating *bit for bit* the final OSTree commit.

If you want to play with this, I'd take a look at the `test-jigdo.sh`; from
there you can find other useful bits like the example `fedora-atomic-host.spec`
file (though the canonical copy of this will likely land in the
[fedora-atomic](http://pagure.io/fedora-atomic) manifest git repo.

Tests are divided into three groups:

  • Tests in the check directory are non-destructive and uninstalled. Some of the tests require root privileges. Use make check to run these.

  • The composecheck tests currently require uid 0 capabilities - the default in Docker, or you can run them via a user namespace. They are non-destructive, but are installed.

    To use them, you might do a make && sudo make install inside a Docker container.

    Then invoke ./tests/compose. Alternatively of course, you can simply run the tests on a host system or in an existing container, without doing a build.

    Note: This is intentionally not a Makefile target because it doesn't require building and doesn't use uninstalled binaries.

  • Tests in the vmcheck directory are oriented around using Vagrant. Use make vmcheck to run them. See also HACKING.md in the top directory.

The common directory contains files used by multiple tests. The utils directory contains helper utilities required to run the tests.
