This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux. This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == A few years ago PLATFORM_ID was added to `os-release` for Modularity, but Modularity has been retired and we don't need this key. It'll be dropped from our `os-release` files. == Owner == * Name: [[User:Zbyszek|Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek]] * Email: zbys...@in.waw.pl == Detailed Description == As discussed in [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2350301 bug 2350301], PLATFORM_ID= setting in `/usr/lib/os-release`/`/etc/os-release` is undocumented and most likely completely unused. It is a one-line change to get rid of it. It is very hard to prove that this field is not used by somebody somewhere, so the main purpose of this Change Proposal is to have a page we can point people to. == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == We get rid of an unexpected line in our `os-release` files. == Scope == * Proposal owners: pull request for `fedora-release` package * Other developers: merge the pull request * Release engineering: N/A * Policies and guidelines: N/A * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == No impact. == Early Testing (Optional) == == How To Test == == User Experience == == Dependencies == == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Revert the patch. * Contingency deadline: Any time. * Blocks release? No. == Documentation == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Release Notes == An unused `PLATFORM_ID=` field in [https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/os-release.html os-release] has been dropped. -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-annou...@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-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-annou...@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
