Fixing buildsys CC

Hi all,

The ISO volume ID for the Fedora 21 workstation livecd is
'Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-2', which doesn't actually say 21
in it, and libosinfo can't use it to detect the fedora version for
boxes/virt-manager.

Koji is responsible for generating the volume ID, and there's a
bug filed:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1145264

I also sent a (untested) koji patch to buildsys list:

https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/buildsys/2014-October/004411.html

NAK on this patch its the completely wrong place to apply such a
thing. the fix belongs in livecd-tools

of course though things need to be done differently in koji. because we
would need to pass through the full untrunckated value or do something
else that involves ignoring the CLI. But I do stand by koji being the
wrong place for that knowledge. especially true if we change the naming
scheme going forward. which is something we intend to do. keep them
under 32 characters but make them a bit more readable.

ccing bcl who originally moved the bug to koji. I'm all for long term fixup but I'd also really like to see some solution before F21 GA. Ideas anyone?

really libosinfo
should be looking in the image and not relying on the filesystem
volumeid to determine the release of an image. something outside of the
contents could be manipulated, while it is much less likely to happen
inside the image.


Yeah that would be a useful capability to have, but it's a whole different world of hurt and a lot more work that isn't going to materialize anytime in the short to midterm. And honestly just depending on volume ID has worked out pretty well already.

However neither have received a response, so I'm reaching out
here.

If this isn't fixed before F21 GA, we are stuck with the crappy
volume ID forever and tools that are depending on it are in a
tough spot. Is there any process to escalate this and get the fix
deployed to infrastructure? (FWIW I've just proposed the bug as a
freeze exception, but presumably it will take more coordination
that that)
