Is there a generally accepted "best way" to upgrade/install packages
with RPM with a shared RO /usr across multiple images?  Management is
leaning toward all guests having the same software installed, where
service A would be running on one image, and service B on another,
though the software is installed on both.  The RPM database across
images would be identical.  I do not see a "clean" or "easy" way to deal
with upgrading each img, because of their differences in /etc and /var,
while respecting /usr.

Is Chap 8 (Shared Linux Filesystems) of the Large Scale Linux Deployment
redbook the way to go here?


Thanks,
