The focus is on projects which use libostree's - shared library, rather than users directly invoking the command - line tools (except for build systems). However, in most of - the rest of the documentation, we will use the term "OSTree", - since it's slightly shorter, and changing all documentation - at once is impractical. We expect to transition to the new - name over time. - - As implied above, 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. - - The core OSTree model is like git in that it checksums - individual files and has a content-addressed-object - store. It's unlike git in that it "checks out" the files - via hardlinks, and they thus need to be immutable to prevent - corruption. Therefore, another way to think of OSTree is that - it's just a more polished version of Linux VServer hardlinks. - </longdescription> - <use> - <flag name="grub">Enable grub configuration generator</flag> - <flag name="soup">Use libsoup for networking</flag> - </use> - <upstream> - <remote-id type="github">ostreedev/ostree</remote-id> - </upstream> -</pkgmetadata> |
