As Colin mentioned in #1035, the new `--cache-only` implemented only the rpmmd half of the story. Here we complete that story by also ensuring that when in cache-only mode, we don't download new ostree data nor new packages. We try to complete the requested operation with what we have. To do this, we add support for the same `SYNTHETIC` pull that was added in ostree[1] so that we don't actually pull, but still perform timestamp checking. On the pkgcache side, we disable all remote repos and instead insert all our cached RPMs into the `DnfSack`. Care is taken to still perform SHA256 verification for local pkg installs/replacements.

|
|
<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>.

There are three sub-commands:
|

</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<command>diff</command> to see how the packages are
|
|
different between the trees in two commits. The

|
<option>--format=diff</option> option uses
|
|
<literal>-</literal> for removed packages,
|
|
<literal>+</literal> for added packages, and finally
|
|
<literal>!</literal> for the old version of an updated
|
|
package, with a following <literal>=</literal> for the new
|
|
version.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<command>list</command> to see which packages are within the
|
|
commit(s) (works like yum list). At least one commit must be

specified, but more than one or a range will also work.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<command>version</command> to see the rpmdb version of the
|
|
packages within the commit (works like yum version
|

nogroups). At least one commit must be specified, but more

<para>
|
|
Takes version, branch, or commit ID as an argument, and
|
|
creates a new deployment using it, setting it up as the
|
|
default for the next boot. Unlike most other commands, this
|
|
will automatically fetch and traverse the origin history to
|
|
find the target. By design, this has no effect on your
|
|
running filesystem tree. You must reboot for any changes to
|
|
take effect.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
In addition to exit status 0 for success and 1 for error,
|
|
this command also uses exit status 77 to indicate that the
|
|
system is already on the specified commit. This tristate
|
|
return model is intended to support idempotency-oriented
|
|
systems automation tools like Ansible.

OSTree manages an ordered list of bootloader entries, called

|
"deployments". The entry at index 0 is the default
|
|
bootloader entry. Each entry has a separate
|
|
<filename>/etc</filename>, but they all share a single
|
|
<filename>/var</filename>. You can use the bootloader to
|
|
choose between entries by pressing Tab to interrupt
|
|
startup.

This command then changes the default bootloader entry. If

Commands such as <command>upgrade</command> create new deployments,

which affect the next boot, and take up additional storage space. In

some cases, you may want to undo and clean up these operations. This
|
|
command supports both removing additional deployments such as the
|
|
"pending" deployment (the next boot) as well as the default rollback
|
|
deployment. Use <option>-p/--pending</option> to remove the pending
|

deployment, and <option>-r/--rollback</option> to remove the

rollback.
