Re: [atomic-devel] atomic install/run cockpit does not work on atomic-ws

[Matthias Clasen <mclasen redhat com>]

what is the command line that check for updates without applying the update? and list pending updates?

is it pull?

rpm-ostree upgrade --check

when an update came to atomic ws, it removed those (picture inlined, look at removals: 10 packages)

is there a way to carry those newly installed packages from the current layer into the updae?

rpm-ostree has all needed information to do this.

it knows they were added in the past

it knows they are still missing in the update

it knows how to merge (or rebase) them

rpm-ostree upgrade does that - it keeps the exiting layer in place.
