We were using unsigned size when we should have been using signed, this means we basically weren't checking for errors on write...ouch. Luckily if we e.g. hit ENOSPC during a pull, the checksums wouldn't match and we'd return an error anyways. However when writing an object, we'd end up silently ignoring it =/ https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=732020
OSTree is a tool for managing bootable, immutable, versioned filesystem trees. While it takes over some of the roles of tradtional "package managers" like dpkg and rpm, it is not a package system; nor is it a tool for managing full disk images. Instead, it sits between those levels, offering a blend of the advantages (and disadvantages) of both.
