- From the past few months we've had a lot of community involvement in IRC
and on the mailing lists. Over that time there are some re-occurring issues
that keep coming up.

- - Lost content in /etc/ problem
    - https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/40
    - https://github.com/ostreedev/ostree/issues/545
    - TL;DR - to avoid this problem don't make changes to /etc/ after
              you've staged a new deployment. i.e. you should reboot
              soon after you've `rpm-ostree upgrade` or `rpm-ostree install`
    - We are hoping to fix this soon!

- - Can't package layer rpms that store content in /opt/ or /usr/local
    - https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/233
    - TL;DR - you can't package layer rpms that own content
              in /opt or /usr/local
    - We are hoping to fix this but the best approach has not yet been
      determined. Join in the upstream issue to discuss

- - Out of Tree Kernel modules; support for DKMS/akmods
    - https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/1091
    - TL;DR - if you have out of tree kernel modules and want an
              'autorebuild' system like DKMS or akmods to work you
              are currently out of luck.
    - This one is currently not high on the radar. It's going to be
      a ton of work to get right. 

- - split base/layered versionlocked package problem
    - https://github.com/projectatomic/rpm-ostree/issues/415
    - TL;DR - This happens when your base layer is out of date
              with the rpms from the yum repo it is pulling the
              new rpms from. Most of the time you can fix this by
              running `rpm-ostree upgrade` and then `rpm-ostree install`.
              There are some cases where we have not yet done a new release
              yet and there are packages that would be overridden. For this
              we are discussing in the upstream issue to allow a --force
              flag. Please add input to the upstream issue.
