CMake is an open-source, cross-platform family of tools designed to build, test and package software. CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files, and generate native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice. The suite of CMake tools were created by Kitware in response to the need for a powerful, cross-platform build environment for open-source projects such as ITK and...

OSTree is a tool that combines a Git-like model for managing bootable, immutable filesystem trees with a deployment mechanism for Linux-based operating systems. It enables atomic upgrades and rollbacks, ensuring system integrity and consistency. OSTree is particularly useful for scenarios where reliable and reproducible system deployments are critical. ​

rpm-ostree is a hybrid image/package system developed by CoreOS that combines the benefits of image-based and package-based systems for managing Linux operating systems. It utilizes OSTree for managing bootable, immutable filesystem trees and integrates with RPM to allow package layering. This approach enables atomic upgrades and rollbacks, ensuring system stability and consistency across deployments. rpm-ostree is particularly suited for scenarios where reliable and reproducible system states are critical, such as in containerized or edge computing environments. ​
