ostree/gnomeos/README-install.md

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.
