Image Assembly Overview

The Env_Stacks/Projects/SoftwareComponentPipeline is designed to make it straightforward to automatically produce updated RPMs and RPM repositories from upstream components releases.

However:

  • not all upstream applications (especially web applications) are amenable to being disassembled into component RPMs
  • the high level "application glue code" that combines dependencies into a coherent application typically isn't designed for reuse
  • packaging things as RPMs is very helpful for building Fedora itself, but markedly less so when building things to run *on* Fedora

These recommendations cover the available approaches to assembling individual components produced by the software component pipeline into larger binary images for easier consumption.
