v2017.9

v2017.9: This release includes a broad set of features, bugfixes, and code
@cgwalters cgwalters tagged this 25 Sep 16:59 
refactoring.

On the treecompose side, a major rework of the kernel detection and
layout landed.  Building on a change that landed in libostree v2017.11:
https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/releases/tag/v2017.11
rpm-ostree now detects and matches the Fedora default of placing
the kernel in /usr/lib/modules/$kver.
PR: https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/959
This also helps make `boot_location: "new"` work better, and it's likely
that at least the Fedora editions using rpm-ostree such as Fedora Atomic
Host will use this in the near future.

`rpm-ostree ex livefs` now ensures the system passwd database is updated,
and runs `systemd-tmpfiles` for /run,/var; this makes thing like
`rpm-ostree install httpd && rpm-ostree ex livefs && systemctl start httpd`
work out of the box.
PR: https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/996

On the bugfix side, a subtle issue led to a (client side) crash
when using the `deploy` verb.  Issue:
https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/981

SELinux labeling of `ex override` packages was fixed:
https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/993

We now detect file conflicts much earlier, rather than relying
on it happening indirectly when writing the RPM database:
https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/pull/974
(This uses a new libostree API that was created just for it)

A lot of internal cleanups and refactoring landed in preparation for
"unified core", which is a longstanding effort; likely to appear as
a new experimental flag in the next release or two.  More information:
