That's why I'm filing this for F35, so there's time to change. Scripts that are looking at NAME rather than ID aren't following the spec correctly and should be updated. > Is there any plan for the Fedora Project to make another full OS (that > would have a different value in os-release)? Or is this just a > pre-emptive "we might someday"? I don't think that's a requirement; we have non-OS Fedora Things that aren't part of Fedora Linux. It's confusing for bare "Fedora" to mean the OS, but lose that when another word is put after it. This certainly would be useful if openSUSE takes up my offer to come under our umbrella, though. :) -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
