Probably quite unrelated to the actual topic of this thread, but I
just wanted to mention that we intend to move /etc/os-release to
/usr/lib/os-release (and make /etc/os-release a symlink). We are
working on making factory reset/stateless stuff work on Fedora, and
this actually turned out to be one of the surprisingly few
incomptibilities (the two other being dbus and PAM) we ran into.
Placing this in /usr/lib is certainly the most appropriate place
for it, after all it describes what /usr actually contains, not
what /etc contains...
Anyway, just wanted to mention this. We will soon upload a new
systemd release to Rawhide, that prepares everything for moving the
file, will then file a bug against fedora-release asking for the
file to be moved.
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.
