In Debian distributions exist file: /etc/dpkg/origins/default which is symlink to /etc/dpkg/origins/debian with content: Vendor: Debian Vendor-URL: http://www.debian.org/ Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org Do we have some alternative to this in Fedora world? The goal of this file is to difference vendor. See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487437 for more details.
We don't have anything like that, but something equivalent might be useful for split Fedora products -- "vendor" would be the wrong word, though.
We have a number of _related_ things -- /etc/system-release, and the RPM "vendor" tag. From the given use case, in fact, I think that the vendor tag is pretty close. I'm not quite sure what they want to _do_ with it though, even having read the debian bugs. What do _you_ want to do with it?
