Clean up /var in the filesystem tree #55

@ghost

Description

Some elements install files into /var during the BuildStream build.

This causes warnings when deploying the tree via ostree admin deploy. The warnings are harmless, as long as the files in /var can be dropped without breaking stuff.

There are a few ways to solve this, with different tradeoffs:

  • rm -rf /var/* when preparing the final tree
  • Find each component that puts files in /var, remove those specific files at component install time
  • As above, but configure the component to not install those files in the first place, which may require some patching or upstream fixes
