[atomic-devel] rpm-ostree v2015.6

[Colin Walters <walters verbum org>]

Hi,

I've released rpm-ostree v2015.6, available via this GPG signed git tag:
https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/releases/tag/v2015.6
And will be building for both Fedora and the CentOS Atomic SIG build.

I realize I didn't mention v2015.5 here either, so I'll combine the two:

### Addition of a new introspectable shared library

This is the start of making it easier to consume rpm-ostree via
a higher level build system.  Currently, you can run rpm-ostree
as a subprocess, and then introspect the repository to perform
package-level diffs.  Future work here will be having the compose
process itself be an API entrypoint.

### Notable fixes

There's also a cosmetic, but very notable fix from
Dusty for the output of the version comparisons on upgrade/rollback.

### container: true

I'd also like to call out Alex's very small change to add a new
"container: true" flag for the treefile.  This makes it possible to use
rpm-ostree to make trees without kernels, i.e. containers.  At
the moment, we're not providing higher level tools here, but
basically you can ostree --repo=repo checkout somecontainer /path/to/tree
to get a copy of the data out, and use whatever you want, like systemd-nspawn or linux-user-chroot.  Be sure to
mount the target read-only, or run as non-root to avoid processes
corrupting the hardlinks.
