ostree-rs
Rust bindings for libostree.
libostree is both a shared library and suite of command line tools that combines a "git-like" model for committing and downloading bootable filesystem trees, along with a layer for deploying them and managing the bootloader configuration.
Status
The bindings are quite incomplete right now. Most of it can be autogenerated, but I simply turned on what I needed and left the rest for later.
Using
Requirements
The ostree crate requires libostree and the libostree development headers.
On Debian/Ubuntu, they can be installed with:
$ sudo apt-get install libostree-1 libostree-dev
Installing
To use the crate, add it to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
ostree = "0.2"
To use features from later libostree versions, you need to specify the release version as well:
[dependencies.ostree]
version = "0.2"
features = ["v2018_7"]
Developing
The ostree and ostree-sys crates can be built and tested using regular
Cargo commands.
Generated code
Most code is generated based on the gir files using the gir tool. These parts can be regenerated using the included Makefile:
$ make gir/ostree gir/ostree-sys
Run the following command to update the bundled gir files:
$ make update-gir-files
Documentation
The libostree API documentation is not included in the code by default because
of its LGPL license. This means normal cargo doc runs don't include API docs
for the generated code. Run the merge-lgpl-docs Makefile target to include
the API docs in the source so they can be consumed by cargo doc:
$ make merge-lgpl-docs
Keep in mind that if you build the crate with the API docs included, it is effectively LGPL-licensed and you need to comply with the LGPL requirements (specifically, allowing users of your end product to swap out the LGPL'd parts).
CI includes the LGPL docs in the documentation build.
Releases
Releases can be done using the publish_* jobs in the pipeline. There's no versioning helper yet so version bumps need to be done manually.
License
The ostree crate is licensed under the MIT license. See the LICENSE file for
details.
libostree itself is licensed under the LGPL2+. See its licensing information for more information.
