centos-release-atomic patch

[jasonbrooks]

The current, downstream-7.20170117, release of centos atomic is subject to this issue with rpm-ostree package layering: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1399770

The upcoming downstream release includes rpm-ostree-client-2016.13-1.atomic.el7.x86_64, and doesn't have this issue, but @cgwalters has suggested that we adopt a patch similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1399770#c2 for centos-release-atomic.

Colin's patch puts os-release into /usr/lib/ and symlinks that to /etc/. One potential issue here is that centos-release-atomic depends on centos-release, and that's where our os-release comes from. https://git.centos.org/blob/rpms!centos-release-atomic/b132798c53c3ebe5544790053b59af19529307c1/SPECS!centos-release-atomic.spec

@kbsingh Should we adopt a release pkg approach similar to rhel, I don't recall all the reasons for doing this the way we have?

[cgwalters]

It's likely simpler to backport the fix: rpm-software-management/libdnf#215

Or bump to the latest rpm-ostree.

Any news on this? A lot of people are hitting this issue.
@jasonbrooks How hard would it be to backport the libdnf patch?

[jasonbrooks]

Just waiting on @kbsingh to rsync the updated tree into place.

It looks like the new tree is in place now:

centos-atomic-host:centos-atomic-host/7/x86_64/standard

Ok, let's mark as done. Thanks for all your work on this @jasonbrooks !
