Some operating systems may come with external tools for subscription management that drive access to the content. In that case, the origin file may not be useful (for example, it could refer to an installer ISO). This patch will allow OS installers to inject that state, with a useful error message, directing the system administrator to an external tool. See: https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/31 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737686
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.
