Is there a manifest or changelog file for the updates that went into
these images anywhere?

TL;DR - This email describes how to determine the changes between two releases via a
number of 'ostree' and 'rpm-ostree' commands.  Kind of hacky, but it
works.


I couldn't find an email about the previous two week release, so I had to kind of
guess that it was released around Nov. 16.

With that information, I pulled all the commit metadata from the Fedora Atomic ostree
repo.


# ostree pull --commit-metadata-only --depth -1
fedora-atomic:fedora-atomic/f23/x86_64/docker-host

46 metadata, 0 content objects fetched; 5 KiB transferred in 11 seconds


I know the commit ID for the current release via 'rpm-ostree status'.


# rpm-ostree status
  TIMESTAMP (UTC)         VERSION   ID             OSNAME            REFSPEC              
                                 
* 2015-11-30 21:02:28     23.22     253ec42e3c     fedora-atomic    
fedora-atomic:fedora-atomic/f23/x86_64/docker-host


And now I can get the logs starting from that commit ID.


# ostree log 253ec42e3c
commit 253ec42e3cf434d1f69e63f6c3a020cfa502c03c49cb7691c929e259504c1e66
Date:  2015-11-30 21:02:28 +0000

commit beb2e699456454682eb685de404947c449e2b087f7e97523bc57e318bfa64038
Date:  2015-11-26 20:40:19 +0000
Version: 23.21
...


Around the Nov. 16 date, I found the following log entry:


commit 3a104b451e1f242eeca8b8682d12bb06ae64121b54ceaeb4f600d4495d640161
Date:  2015-11-17 15:33:11 +0000
Version: 23.14


So I'm going to pull that commit down, deploy it to my system, and reboot.


# ostree pull fedora-atomic

fedora-atomic:fedora-atomic/f23/x86_64/docker-host     
# systemctl reboot


When I log into the system again, I can see I am booted into the older commit.

# atomic host status
  TIMESTAMP (UTC)         VERSION   ID             OSNAME            REFSPEC

fedora-atomic:fedora-atomic/f23/x86_64/docker-host     


And if I do an 'rpm-ostree rollback', I get a nice summary of what changed at a
package level.

# rpm-ostree rollback
Moving '253ec42e3cf434d1f69e63f6c3a020cfa502c03c49cb7691c929e259504c1e66.0' to be
first deployment
Transaction complete; bootconfig swap: yes deployment count change: 0
Changed:
  ca-certificates 2015.2.5-1.0.fc23 -> 2015.2.6-1.0.fc23
  chkconfig 1.6-1.fc23 -> 1.7-1.fc23
  dbus 1:1.10.2-1.fc23 -> 1:1.10.4-1.fc23

  device-mapper 1.02.107-1.fc23 -> 1.02.109-2.fc23
  device-mapper-event 1.02.107-1.fc23 -> 1.02.109-2.fc23
...

(Full changes here - http://fpaste.org/296660/07035214/)


It's worth noting that this process is substantially simpler with the 'rpm-ostree
deploy' command [1], which has landed upstream but does not appear to be in this
release (availabe in 'rpm-ostree' version 2015.10 [2]).  


Thanks!

First off, thanks!  That was very informative and I appreciate you
taking the time to write it all down.  Also, I don't think that's all
that hacky for people that already are using the atomic images.

However, it doesn't help people using the cloud images or people that
aren't using either but want to keep updated with what changes are
going on with each release.  To help those cases, I was wondering if
there was infrastructure in place to make such changelogs as artifacts
during the image creation process.

Unfortunately not at this time, no. It's on the TODO list to produce a
manifest as well as keep track of a delta between two-week releases.

http://taiga.fedorainfracloud.org/project/acarter-fedora-docker-atomic-to...

The ostrees are built from
https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/fedora-atomic.git/tree/ and are the
latest packages in fedora + fedora-updates repositories as of the
build (which in this case was 2015-12-01).... which may or may not be
helpful.

Apologies,
-AdamM

Perfect, this is what I was looking for.  I'm glad to see that it's
being looked at.  Thanks!

I updated the Vagrant Atlas page with the new atomic host:

https://atlas.hashicorp.com/fedora/

vagrant init fedora/23-atomic-host; vagrant up

or if you already have the box:

vagrant box update --box fedora/23-atomic-host


jzb might be able to put this in his fedmag post.
