Support for atomic distros

[RodrigoPrestes]

I've been trying to install sbctl on Fedora Silverblue, but it errors out due to the read-only file system.

I managed to add the copr repo by creating a file on /etc/yum.repos.d/sbctl.repo and then running sudo rpm-ostree install sbctl.

Here's the error when trying to install: error: Executing %transfiletriggerin for sbctl: bwrap(/bin/sh) and it tells me to run journalctl -t 'rpm-ostree(sbctl.transfiletriggerin)' for more information.

Here's the output:

out 02 23:24:13 fedora rpm-ostree(sbctl.transfiletriggerin)[4452]: Generating EFI bundles....
out 02 23:24:13 fedora rpm-ostree(sbctl.transfiletriggerin)[4452]: mkdir /var/lib/sbctl: read-only file system

Is there instructions or planned support for these kinds of distros?

I don't run Fedora Silverblue and similar distros. If you can tell me what is needed to support them I'll write the code to support it at some point.

Not really sure what's going on... As per documentation /var should be writable, and it actually is. I can mkdir no problem but for some reason rpm-ostree can't write there even running as root.

I don't know how ostree works. It sounds like some form of packaging issue?

@RodrigoPrestes FYI the issue was resolved in copr repo. https://github.com/chenxiaolong/fedora-packages/issues/14

Cool, thanks! I'll close this issue then :)
