[atomic-devel] Documenting "rpm-ostree override"

[Chris Negus <cnegus redhat com>]

In the wake of James Mills' excellent article on replacing docker in Atomic (https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3414221), I realized we had missed documenting "rpm-ostree override" in the RHEL Atomic user docs. I'll point to that article, but I want to add some new content as well.

As I've played around with rpm-ostree override, a few questions have come up:

* Can someone suggest a good package to use to override an Atomic package in the base system? Each package I try fails with some dependency issues I don't know how to get around.

* Must a base system package always be removed before it is replaced?

* Is there a proper way to back out, if you decide you want to go back to the original packages?
