+## 📦 **Using as a Crate**
+
+### Installation
+
+Add to your `Cargo.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+apt-dnf-bridge = "0.1"
+```
+
+For advanced features:
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+apt-dnf-bridge = { version = "0.1", features = ["advanced"] }
+```
+
+Or using git directly:
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+apt-dnf-bridge = { git = "https://git.raines.xyz/particle-os/apt-dnf-bridge-workspace.git", features = ["advanced"] }
+```
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+#### 1. Core API (Minimal)
+
+```rust
+use apt_dnf_bridge::{Transaction, Package, Repository};
+use anyhow::Result;
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<()> {
+    // Create a transaction
+    let mut tx = Transaction::new();
+    
+    // Add packages to install
+    let vim = Package::new("vim", "2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.14", "amd64");
+    tx.add_install(vim).await?;
+    
+    // Resolve dependencies
+    tx.resolve().await?;
+    
+    // Commit the transaction
+    tx.commit().await?;
+    
+    // Check what was installed
+    println!("Newly installed: {:?}", tx.newly_installed());
+    
+    // Rollback if needed
+    if tx.can_rollback() {
+        tx.rollback().await?;
+    }
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+#### 2. Advanced API (With Backends)
+
+```rust
+use apt_dnf_bridge::{TransactionV2, PackageDatabaseV2, BackendConfig};
+use anyhow::Result;
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<()> {
+    // Create transaction with specific backend
+    let config = BackendConfig::default();
+    let mut tx = TransactionV2::with_shell_backend(config).await?;
+    
+    // Add packages
+    let git = Package::new("git", "1:2.25.1-1ubuntu3.11", "amd64");
+    tx.add_install(git).await?;
+    
+    // Resolve and commit
+    tx.resolve().await?;
+    tx.commit().await?;
+    
+    // Advanced rollback with backend
+    if tx.can_rollback() {
+        println!("Changed packages: {:?}", tx.changed_packages());
+        tx.rollback().await?;
+    }
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+#### 3. Package Querying
+
+```rust
+use apt_dnf_bridge::{PackageDatabase, Package};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    let mut db = PackageDatabase::new();
+    
+    // Search for packages
+    let packages = db.find_packages("editor").await?;
+    for package in packages {
+        println!("Found: {} - {}", package.name, package.version);
+    }
+    
+    // Get specific package info
+    if let Some(package) = db.get_package_info("vim").await? {
+        println!("Package: {} v{}", package.name, package.version);
+    }
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+#### 4. Repository Management
+
+```rust
+use apt_dnf_bridge::{Repository, PackageDatabase};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    // Add a repository
+    let mut repo = Repository::new("myrepo", "https://example.com/debian");
+    repo.add_component("main");
+    repo.add_component("contrib");
+    repo.save_to_sources_list_d("myrepo.list")?;
+    
+    // Update package cache
+    let mut db = PackageDatabase::new();
+    db.update_cache().await?;
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+The crate uses `anyhow::Result` for error handling:
+
+```rust
+use anyhow::Result;
+
+async fn example() -> Result<()> {
+    let mut tx = Transaction::new();
+    
+    // All operations return Result<T, anyhow::Error>
+    tx.add_install(Package::new("vim", "", "")).await?;
+    tx.resolve().await?;
+    tx.commit().await?;
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### Rollback System
+
+The rollback system tracks package changes and provides two-phase rollback:
+
+```rust
+use apt_dnf_bridge::{Transaction, Package};
+
+async fn rollback_example() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    let mut tx = Transaction::new();
+    
+    // Add packages
+    tx.add_install(Package::new("vim", "", "")).await?;
+    tx.add_install(Package::new("curl", "", "")).await?;
+    
+    // Commit
+    tx.resolve().await?;
+    tx.commit().await?;
+    
+    // Check rollback information
+    println!("Previously installed: {} packages", tx.previously_installed().len());
+    println!("Newly installed: {} packages", tx.newly_installed().len());
+    println!("Upgraded: {} packages", tx.upgraded().len());
+    
+    // Rollback if needed
+    if tx.can_rollback() {
+        println!("Rolling back changes...");
+        tx.rollback().await?;
+        println!("Rollback completed");
+    }
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### Feature Flags

+## 🔄 **Rollback System**
+
+The APT-DNF Bridge includes a sophisticated two-phase rollback system inspired by the [apt-tx project](https://git.raines.xyz/particle-os/apt-tx):
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Package Tracking**: Tracks `previously_installed`, `newly_installed`, and `upgraded` packages
+2. **Two-Phase Rollback**:
+   - **Phase 1**: Remove newly installed packages using `apt remove -y`
+   - **Phase 2**: Downgrade upgraded packages using `apt install -y package=oldversion`
+
+### Rollback API
+
+```rust
+// Check if rollback is possible
+if tx.can_rollback() {
+    // Get rollback information
+    println!("Newly installed: {:?}", tx.newly_installed());
+    println!("Upgraded: {:?}", tx.upgraded());
+    
+    // Perform rollback
+    tx.rollback().await?;
+}
+```
+
+### Limitations
+
+- ✅ New package installations
+- ✅ Package upgrades with available previous versions
+- ❌ Complex dependency changes
+- ❌ Configuration file modifications
+- ❌ Concurrent package operations
+
+For critical systems, consider using OSTree's native checkpoint/rollback functionality.

+# Rollback Implementation
+
+This document explains how the enhanced rollback functionality works in the APT-DNF Bridge.
+
+## Overview
+
+The rollback system provides a comprehensive way to undo package installations and upgrades. It tracks what packages were changed during a transaction and can restore the system to its previous state using a two-phase approach.
+
+## How It Works
+
+### Package Tracking
+
+Both `Transaction` (core) and `TransactionV2` (advanced) track three types of package information:
+
+- **`previously_installed`**: Packages that were installed before the transaction
+- **`newly_installed`**: Packages that weren't installed before the transaction
+- **`upgraded`**: Packages that were upgraded, with their previous versions stored
+
+### Two-Phase Rollback
+
+When `rollback()` is called, it performs two phases:
+
+1. **Phase 1 - Remove New Packages**: Uses `apt remove -y` to remove all packages in `newly_installed`
+2. **Phase 2 - Downgrade Upgraded Packages**: Uses `apt install -y package=oldversion` to restore previous versions
+
+### Example Usage
+
+#### Core API
+
+```rust
+use apt_dnf_bridge::{Transaction, Package};
+
+#[tokio::main]
+async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+    // Create and commit a transaction
+    let mut tx = Transaction::new();
+    tx.add_install(Package::new("vim", "2:8.1.2269-1ubuntu5.14", "amd64")).await?;
+    tx.add_install(Package::new("curl", "7.68.0-1ubuntu2.18", "amd64")).await?;
+    tx.resolve().await?;
+    tx.commit().await?;
+    
+    // Later, rollback the changes
+    tx.rollback().await?;
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+#### Advanced API
+
+```rust
+use apt_dnf_bridge::{TransactionV2, Package, BackendConfig};

+## API Reference
+
+### Core Transaction Methods
+
+```rust
+impl Transaction {
+    /// Get packages that were newly installed in this transaction.
+    pub fn newly_installed(&self) -> &HashSet<String>
+    
+    /// Get packages that were upgraded in this transaction.
+    pub fn upgraded(&self) -> &HashMap<String, String>
+    
+    /// Get packages that were previously installed before this transaction.
+    pub fn previously_installed(&self) -> &HashSet<String>
+    
+    /// Check if the transaction has any changes that can be rolled back.
+    pub fn can_rollback(&self) -> bool
+    
+    /// Attempt to rollback the transaction (best-effort).
+    pub async fn rollback(&self) -> Result<()>
+}
+```
+
+### Advanced Transaction Methods
+
+```rust
+impl TransactionV2 {
+    /// Get packages that were newly installed in this transaction.
+    pub fn newly_installed(&self) -> &HashSet<String>
+    
+    /// Get packages that were upgraded in this transaction.
+    pub fn upgraded(&self) -> &HashMap<String, String>
+    
+    /// Get packages that were previously installed before this transaction.
+    pub fn previously_installed(&self) -> &HashSet<String>
+    
+    /// Check if the transaction has any changes that can be rolled back.
+    pub fn can_rollback(&self) -> bool
+    
+    /// Get a list of all changed packages (newly installed + upgraded).
+    pub fn changed_packages(&self) -> Vec<String>
+    
+    /// Attempt to rollback the transaction using the two-phase approach.
+    pub async fn rollback(&self) -> Result<()>
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The rollback system uses a "fail fast" approach:
+
+- **Critical errors** (package not found, permission denied) cause immediate failure
+- **Soft errors** (package already removed) generate warnings but continue
+- If a specific version can't be installed, the package is removed instead
+
+## Limitations
+
+This implementation handles the most common rollback scenarios:
+
+- ✅ New package installations
+- ✅ Package upgrades with available previous versions
+- ✅ Mixed transactions (some new, some upgrades)
+
+It does **not** handle:
+
+- Complex dependency changes
+- Configuration file modifications
+- System state beyond package versions
+- Concurrent package operations
+
+For more advanced rollback scenarios, consider using OSTree's native checkpoint/rollback functionality.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Data Structures
+
+```rust
+pub struct Transaction {
+    operations: Vec<Operation>,
+    previously_installed: HashSet<String>,  // packages that were installed before
+    newly_installed: HashSet<String>,       // packages that weren't installed before
+    upgraded: HashMap<String, String>,      // package -> old_version for upgrades
+    log_commands: bool,
+}
+```
+
+### Key Methods
+
+- `add_install()`: Adds a package to the transaction
+- `commit()`: Installs packages and categorizes them as new vs upgraded
+- `rollback()`: Performs the two-phase rollback process
+- `changed_packages()`: Returns a list of what was changed
+
+### State Management
+
+The tracking fields (`newly_installed`, `upgraded`) are only populated after a successful `commit()`. This ensures the rollback data reflects what actually happened during the transaction.
+
+## Testing
+
+The rollback functionality is tested in the test suite, but actual package installation/removal is not performed in tests to avoid side effects on the test environment.
+
+## OSTree Integration
+
+For atomic operations, use OSTree's native checkpoint/rollback:
+
+```rust
+// 1. Create OSTree checkpoint
+let checkpoint = ostree_create_checkpoint()?;
+
+// 2. Run APT transaction
+let mut tx = Transaction::new();
+tx.add_install(Package::new("vim", "", "")).await?;
+tx.commit().await?;
+
+// 3. Commit or rollback based on result
+if success {
+    ostree_commit_changes()?;
+} else {
+    ostree_rollback_to_checkpoint(checkpoint)?;
+}
+```
+
+## Design Philosophy
+
+The current implementation follows these principles:
+
+- **Simplicity over completeness**: Handle common cases well
+- **Fail fast**: Clear error messages when things go wrong
+- **Maintainability**: Easy to understand and modify
+- **Reliability**: Works consistently in real-world scenarios
+
+This approach ensures the rollback system is robust, understandable, and maintainable while handling the vast majority of actual use cases.
