Sure, the real-world location of this file is pretty much immaterial, as long as we get it created properly. Any chance that systemd wants to build a hostnamectl-like interface for setting the os-release values? That would make life a lot easier on us, as we could reconfigure that file if-and-when a fedora-release-$PRODUCT package was installed in a %post snippet. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iEYEARECAAYFAlOxvhkACgkQeiVVYja6o6P0tgCcDmWENFbPZp879VpGpxy2+INl tzYAn03lltlyBXN98Kz236+F8S2/vy7+ =ojNm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
