Description

Playing with osbuild locally, I ran into 2 issues with the online documentation to run builds locally when using Fedora 39 as the OS I was developing my image(s) on:

  1. The composer-cli package is actually weldr-client for dnf operations in current versions of Fedora. Referencing: https://osbuild.org/docs/on-premises/installation/

  2. When I attempt to do a files customization install into /root (well aware of the cautions, was just trying some ideas out) - my composition didn't seem to accept that as a possible path. Referencing: https://osbuild.org/docs/user-guide/blueprint-reference (Files and directories section). I wasn't sure if I was hitting a change/limitation or maybe just using the wrong pathing (maybe I should've tried /var/roothome).

Research direction

Review the on-premises installation page and its package instructions, then check the Blueprint Reference's Files and directories section. Verify the Fedora 39 package name and whether installing files into /root is supported; update both documentation areas to state the correct package and path behavior.
