Make a compose of another distribution

Project Discussion

Hello

I have a question, Can I make a compose of another distribution such as OpenSuse or Mageia using rpm-ostree? Technically these distros are rpm-based, so Can I add a repo of another distribution and use rpm-ostree to make a compose?

Hi @kuba3351,
Yes you can, see here for details … https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/#projects-using-rpm-ostree and of course here https://ostreedev.github.io/ostree/introduction/

Yes, this should work in theory. In practice, this will depend on how much progress the distribution has made toward stateless RPM packaging (using triggers, etc. instead of scriptlets).
