If a MITM attacker (or just network corruption) causes a temporary downloaded object in tmp/ to be corrupted, we'll end up continually trying to commit it, and fail. Fix this unlinking the temp file immediately after opening it. This will ensure that if we exit due to an error (or crash), the kernel will clean up the space for us. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725924
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.
