This stage takes /usr/lib/passwd and /usr/etc/passwd from an OSTree checkout, merges them into one file, and store it as /etc/passwd in the buildroot. It does the same for /etc/group. The reason for doing this is that there is an issue with unstable UIDs and GIDs when creating OSTree commits from scratch. When there is a package that creates a system user or a system group, it can change the UID and GID of users and groups that are created later. This is not a problem in traditional deployments because already created users and groups never change their UIDs and GIDs, but with OSTree we recreate the files from scratch and then replace the previous one so it can actually change. By copying the files to the build root before doing any other operations, we can make sure that the UIDs and GIDs of already existing users and groups won't change.

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 >= 235
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
