Layering is a last resort per the Bazzite docs (slows every OS update, can
block upgrades until removed); a sysext never enters an rpm-ostree
transaction, survives OS updates, and installs/updates with no reboot —
the mechanism Fedora Atomic ships via fedora-sysexts.
- build-sysext.sh wraps the built host+web RPMs into punktfunk-<V-R>-x86-64.raw:
/etc payload relocated to /usr/share/punktfunk/etc (a sysext carries only
/usr), the punktfunk-sysext helper embedded, ID=fedora + VERSION_ID pinned
(merges on Bazzite via ID_LIKE; REFUSED after a major rebase instead of
running soname-broken binaries — both behaviors validated live on Bazzite 43).
SELinux labels are baked in as squashfs pseudo-xattrs from matchpathcon:
unlabeled files run fine for user units but system daemons are DENIED
(udev couldn't read the gamepad rule under enforcing) — validated on-glass.
Refuses duplicate input package names (a stale noarch punktfunk-web next to
the x86_64 one built a chimera image with the dead node launcher once).
- punktfunk-sysext.sh: install/update/status/remove against per-Fedora-major
feeds (…/generic/punktfunk-sysext/f43[-canary]), SHA-256-verified, applies
the udev/sysctl scriptlet work + /etc copies, prints the layering-migration
hint. Live-validated on the .41 Bazzite box incl. service restart + web console.
- publish-sysext-feed.sh + rpm.yml: build + publish the image per matrix leg
(fedver 43/44), canary feeds pruned to 6, stable release assets attached.
- update-punktfunk.sh warns when the sysext shadows a layered install.
