rpm-ostree
This tool takes a set of packages, and commits them to an OSTree repository. At the moment, it is intended for use on build servers.
Using rpm-ostree
There are two levels; the core "rpm-ostree" command takes a set of packages and commits them to an OSTree repository.
The higher level rpm-ostree-autobuilder parses a "products.json" which generates potentially many filesystem trees. It also has code to generate disk images and run smoketests.
Installing and setting up a repository
There are packages available in the rpm-ostree COPR; you can also just "sudo make install" it.
Once you have that done, choose a build directory. Here we'll use /srv/rpm-ostree.
# cd /srv/rpm-ostree
# mkdir repo
# ostree --repo=repo init --mode=archive-z2
Running rpm-ostree
The core "rpm-ostree" takes as input a "treefile". There is a demo
one in doc/demo-treefile.json.
# rpm-ostree create sometreefile.json
All this does is use yum to download RPMs from the referenced repos,
and commit the result to the OSTree repository, using the ref named by
ref.
You can export /srv/rpm-ostree/repo via any static webserver.
Running the autobuilder
The autobuilder instead takes as input a products.json which
generates multiple treefiles. Try this:
# ln -s /path/to/rpm-ostree.git/fedostree/products.json .
# rpm-ostree-autobuilder
That will automatically poll every hour for changes in the RPMs
referenced by the products.json file, commit them to the
/srv/rpm-ostree/repo, and generate cached disk images in
/srv/rpm-ostree/images.
