The cachedir-tag specification defines how to mark directories as cache-directories. This allows tools like `tar` to ignore those directories if desired (e.g., see `tar --ignore-caches`). This is very useful to avoid huge cache-directories in backups and remote synchronizations. The spec simply defines a file called `CACHEDIR.TAG` with the first 43 bytes to be: "Signature: 8a477f597d28d172789f06886806bc55" (which happens to be the MD5-checksum of ".IsCacheDirectory". Further content is to be ignored. Any such files marks the directory in question as a cache-directory. The cachedir-tag has been successfully deployed in tools like `cargo` and `VLC`, and is currently discussed to be implemented in Firefox.

OSBuild
Build-Pipelines for Operating System Artifacts
OSBuild is a pipeline-based build system for operating system artifacts. It defines a universal pipeline description and a build system to execute them, producing artifacts like operating system images, working towards an image build pipeline that is more comprehensible, reproducible, and extendable.
See the osbuild(1) man-page for details on how to run osbuild, the definition
of the pipeline description, and more.

Requirements
The requirements for this project are:
bubblewrap >= 0.4.0python >= 3.7
Additionally, the built-in stages require:
bash >= 5.0coreutils >= 8.31curl >= 7.68qemu-img >= 4.2.0rpm >= 4.15tar >= 1.32util-linux >= 235skopeo
At build-time, the following software is required:
python-docutils >= 0.13pkg-config >= 0.29
Testing requires additional software:
pytest
Install
Installing osbuild requires to not only install the osbuild module, but also
additional artifacts such as tools (i.e: osbuild-mpp) sources, stages, schemas
and SELinux policies.
For this reason, doing an installation from source is not trivial and the easier way to install it is to create the set of RPMs that contain all these components.
This can be done with the rpm make target, i.e:
make rpm
A set of RPMs will be created in the ./rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/ directory and can
be installed in the system using the distribution package manager, i.e:
sudo dnf install ./rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch/*.rpm
