The release process has drifted with xtask; I forget exactly why but I ended up with `.zstd`, not `.zst` in the tarballs and I've been hand-hacking that manually. Fix things up so that `cargo xtask package` generates the source snapshot and the vendor tarball named exactly how we release them now. Signed-off-by: Colin Walters <walters@verbum.org>
bootc
Transactional, in-place operating system updates using OCI/Docker container images.
Motivation
The original Docker container model of using "layers" to model applications has been extremely successful. This project aims to apply the same technique for bootable host systems - using standard OCI/Docker containers as a transport and delivery format for base operating system updates.
The container image includes a Linux kernel (in e.g. /usr/lib/modules),
which is used to boot. At runtime on a target system, the base userspace is
not itself running in a container by default. For example, assuming
systemd is in use, systemd acts as pid1 as usual - there's no "outer" process.
