See https://wiki.gnome.org/OSTree/DeploymentModel2
This is a major rework of the on-disk filesystem layout, and the boot
process. OSTree now explicitly supports upgrading kernels, and these
upgrades are also atomic.
The core concept of the new model is the "deployment list", which is
an ordered list of bootable operating system trees. The deployment
list is reflected in the bootloader configuration; which has a kernel
argument that tells the initramfs (dracut) which operating system root
to use.
Invidiual notable changes that come along with this:
1) Operating systems should now come with their etc in usr/etc; OSTree
will perform a 3-way merge at deployment time, and place etc in
the actual root. This avoids the need for a bind mount, and is
just a lot cleaner.
2) OSTree no longer bind mounts /root, /home, and /tmp. It is expected
that the the OS/ has these as symbolic links into /var.
At the moment, OSTree only supports managing syslinux; other
bootloader backends will follow.
A simple HTTP server implementation is so few lines of code when one
is linking to libsoup anyways, so let's just have one here in ostree
that will be used for the test suite.
This allows us to run the archive tests that previously required
apache even in gnome-ostree.
In some cases we want the ability to run triggers independently of
checking out a tree. For example, due to kernel limitations which
impact the gnome-ostree build system, we may need to run triggers on
first boot via systemd.
Secondarily, if the user installs a system extension which adds a new
shared library to /usr/lib for example, the system will need to run
the triggers again.
Also, I think I want to take triggers out of the core and put them in
ostree admin anyways.
The real vision of OSTree is to "multiple versions of multiple
operating systems". Up until now, it's worked to install gnome-ostree
inside a host distribution, but several things don't work quite right
if you try to do completely different systems.
In the new model, there's the concept of an "osname" which encompasses
a few properties:
1) Its own /var
2) A set of trees deployed in /ostree/deploy/OSNAME/
3) Its own "current" and "previous" links.
Now it no longer really makes sense to boot with "ostree=current".
Instead, you specify e.g. "ostree=gnome/current".
This is an incompatible change to the deployment code - you will need
to run init-os gnome and redeploy.
All "ostree admin" subcommands now take an OSNAME argument.
Should be used when initializing a new root filesystem for a "pure
OSTree" system; for example, what "ostbuild privhelper-deploy-qemu"
does when creating a filesystem image loopback.
After a while of pull-deploy cycles, you start to accumulate a lot of
them. While the deployment read-only part is hardlinked, the -etc
space adds up.
Additionally, the repository itself just gets large.
The new command "ostree admin prune" deletes everything except the
"current" and "previous" deployments.
They're not a large efficiency win at the moment, because we don't
do any delta compression.
At the moment, they simply served to compress data, but we will change
the archive mode to do that by default.
This will be useful for ostbuild; a user can create their own archive
mode repository which transparently inherits objects from the
root-owned one in /ostree.
This should be useful on clients to trim old refs. For example,
after an upgrade the system could do:
ostree --repo=/ostree/repo prune --depth=2 gnomeos-3.4-i686-runtime
This would remote all objects that aren't in the current build and the
previous one.
I'm trying to keep ostree as being closer to just being the versioning
filesystem, so let's split out the triggers into a different binary
(although still namespaced ostree-).
One thing that made this take significantly longer than it might
have otherwise is that we have to keep PWD "up to date" - otherwise
we hit bugs in glibc's getcwd() implementation.
Since we're making a shared library, it should be usable by non-GPL
apps.
To allow more code sharing between the core and the tests, move them
to the LGPLv2+ too.
A few bits of test and other code are still GPL. See the new COPYING
file for more information.
