How is it incompatible with packaging? The read only root support that
already exists in Fedora today is what would be used.
In that /etc and /var are read-only. Now you're right, there is
read-only root which makes sense for certain cases, but changing the OS
content to write to a special data partition is taking one farther away
from the generality of the package/FHS model.
How do the images get built? Can you use existing image building
tools, or it
something ostree specific?
The trees (not images) get composed using rpm-ostree. It's just a
wrapper around yum --installroot + ostree commit.
From there after Anaconda support lands, one can install a tree (just
like a set of packages) into a disk image or bare metal. In this
model, Anaconda will be doing far less - it'll just be copying data,
not depsolving or running through the SELinux labeling, etc.
