Overview -------- http://ostree.gnome.org is the sole build/deploy server right now. Notably http://ostree.gnome.org/repo is an OSTree repo which holds binaries. To install, right now you need to build the 'ostree' git module somehow. I personally use jhbuild, but you could make an RPM/.deb or whatever too. Replace ~/src with whereever you keep source code. $ cd ~/src $ git clone git://git.gnome.org/ostree $ cd ostree $ jhbuild buildone -nf $(basename $(pwd)) Now we need to run the install script as root. $ su - # ~/src/ostree/gnomeos/yocto/gnomeos-install.sh Now you may need to edit your GRUB configuration. This part varies for GRUB 1 versus GRUB 2. The GRUB 2 bits in "15_ostree" don't really work yet. I'm just manually writing GRUB 1 entries.
