From da2dfa71ce0aae288bb07d52737130e814aec00e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Petr=20P=C3=ADsa=C5=99?= Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2024 14:04:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Allow --installroot on read-only bootc system Some people use --installroot on a read-only bootc system to install a system into a chroot subtree. However, current bootc check did not take into account --installroot and rejected the operation. This patch augments the check for the installroot being different from /. It's pointless to check for installroot writability here because installroot is written before this check when updating the repositories and computing a transaction. Moving this check sooner would not help because some directories (/opt, /) are kept read-only even on writable bootc.
