Is it ok to modify /etc/os-release for re-branding purpose? 

Hi Danishka Navin,

Good question on a bad place. Adding Fedora devel list here, there could be someone who is able to answer you this question.

Hi Jirka,

I used the following command but did't use --product and --version at all.
Btw, does livecd-creator read from /etc/os-release when we ignore both --product and --version?

livecd-creator --verbose --config=hanthana-live-workstation.ks --fslabel=h30 --cache=cache --tmpdir=tmp

Then I copied fresh kisktars shipped by fedora and rerun with my custom configs.
I could not reproduce the issue.

I wonder if the issue caused by following entries in the /etc/os-release file. 

REDHAT_BUGZILLA_PRODUCT="Fedora"
REDHAT_SUPPORT_PRODUCT="Fedora"

Btw, there is a new issue occurred.
As in this image, Anaconda keeps duplicating the values of redhat-release file.
I am not sure if its a bug or I mage a mistake.

Added Hanthana Workstation (Vishwa)' in to the redhat-release file.

If you have digital at the end, it only repeats the digit.

Anaconda reads the product name and the product version from /etc/system-release on Live ISO or from the .buildstamp file in network installations. See my comment about the .buildstamp file below. I think that all these problems are related.

Hello,

You have probably used bad parameters when you were invoking lorax. You have to use correct --product and --version parameters otherwise we will be handling your ISO as Rawhide.

Could you please tell us what command did you used to create your ISO?

Regards,
Jirka

Hi there,

When I was trying to install f30 based remixed ISO,  "PRE-RELEASE/TESTING" text appearing in top-right hand side of anaconda GUI.
May I know what could cause this?

Hello,

for Live ISO, there is a little crazy logic that sets up the flag for a final release:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/blob/master/data/liveinst/liveinst#L93

Basically, it is determined by a version of a package that provides system-release, so I would check that.

What is the output of these commands, when you run them on your ISO?
rpm -q  --whatprovides system-release
rpm -q --qf '%{Release}' --whatprovides system-release

$ rpm -q  --whatprovides system-release
fedora-release-workstation-30-900.noarch
$ rpm -q --qf '%{Release}' --whatprovides system-release
900[

It seems to be correct. The liveinst script should set the environment variable ANACONDA_ISFINAL to True before Anaconda is started.

Network installations use the IsFinal attribute of the .buildstamp file to determine the value of the flag, but Live ISO shouldn't have this file and should use ANACONDA_ISFINAL instead. The path to the .buildstamp file can be /.buildstamp, /tmp/product/.buildstamp or set by the environment variable PRODBUILDPATH. Could you check that these files do not exist on your ISO?

Otherwise, I would recommend to report a bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/ and attach the Anaconda logs from the installation.

both os-release and redhat-release updated and I can see given values.
both fedora and fedora-update repos used during the ISO build along with few 3rd party repos.
