# rpm-ostree: A true hybrid image/package system
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Currently, development focus has shifted to [bootc](https://github.com/containers/bootc), [dnf](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf5/), and the ecosystem around those tools. However, rpm-ostree is widely in use today in many upstream projects and downstream products and **we will continue to support it** for some time with an emphasis on fixing important bugs, especially security-related ones. Some minor enhancements may happen but in general new major features, especially client-side, are unlikely to be prioritized. For more information, see:
> - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/DNFAndBootcInImageModeFedora
> - https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/X4WEBWV3JYKWVRBC6CPJMUJGQOYCORC7/
rpm-ostree is a hybrid image/package system. It combines
[libostree](https://ostree.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) as a base image format,
and accepts RPM on both the client and server side, sharing code with the
[dnf](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNF_(software)) project; specifically
[libdnf](https://github.com/rpm-software-management/libdnf). and thus bringing
many of the benefits of both together.
🆕 as of [release 2022.16](https://github.com/coreos/rpm-ostree/releases/tag/v2022.16) rpm-ostree now also supports [ostree native containers](docs/container.md).

```
**Features:**
- Transactional, background image-based (versioned/checksummed) upgrades, using both bootable container images as well as an "ostree native" HTTP model
- OS rollback without affecting user data (`/usr` but not `/etc`, `/var`) via libostree
- Client-side package layering (and overrides)
- Custom base images via `rpm-ostree compose image` (container) or `rpm-ostree compose tree` (ostree repo)
