Re: [atomic-devel] Extending Atomic Host and 'rpm-ostree pkg-add'



I think you should be able to do this totally with a chroot /host

rather then nsenter.

 A little trick I have been playing with for scripts executed in the chroot.

Then you could just copy the rpm out of the container on to /host/run
and then execute

the ./install.sh command to execute the appropriate rpm commands on the
host. 

The difficult part is creating the rpm with attributes back to the
container.
