Description

This project was designed to be distribution independent; that's in theory. In practice today it is tied to both ostree and rpm (though the rpm part is definitely written in an attempted-to-be pluggable way).

But I think it will make more sense to fold this into https://github.com/containers/bootc - we're not going to have non-ostree support anytime soon, and if we do it should work in the same way as bootc. Also, I think we want bootc bootloader update e.g.

Also, the two projects are similarly named and it will be less confusing to just have bootc, not bootc and bootupd.

Research direction

Read the issue discussion and compare this project with github.com/containers/bootc, focusing on the proposed folding, shared ostree and rpm assumptions, and the suggested bootc bootloader update command. Done means the maintainers have decided whether and how bootupd should be folded into bootc; no files or tests are identified in the issue.
