Originally, the idea was that clients would replicate "OS/tree"s from
a build server, but we'd run things like "ldconfig" on the client.
This was to allow adding e.g. the nVidia binary driver.
However, the triggers were the only thing in the system at the moment
that really had expected knowledge of the *contents* of the OS, like
the location of binaries.
For now, it's architecturally cleaner if we move the burden of
triggers to the tree builder (e.g. gnome-ostree or RPM). Eventually
we may want OSTree to assist with this type of thing (perhaps
something like RPM %ghost), but this is the right thing to do now.
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.
Linux creates a copy of the soure mount flags when creating a bind
mount; if the source is read-only, then the bind mount is.
The problem is that systemd will remount the rootfs read/write, but
each mount (/home, /var etc.) will still be read-only. We need to
remount every bind mount except for /usr to read-write too.
This only "worked" with the old ostree-switch-root because it
effectively force mounted the rootfs read-write always, ignoring the
"ro" flag.
Rather than attempting to hack up the "switch-root" functionality of
systemd, this binary allows us to simply prepare the root before we
switch into it.
Merge the code from ostree-init; now that we're back to targeting an
initramfs (dracut), we don't need to statically link the binary, so
there's no strong reason to have a separate module.
