-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We're getting down to the wire on Fedora 21 and we need to nail down a few of the low-level release requirements. First of all, I'd like to formally propose that each of the products will have a fedora-release-$PRODUCT (and corresponding generic-release-$PRODUCT) package. This package will meet several needs (with magical hand-waving in this initial email). 1) All Products will add explicit Requires: to the fedora-release-$PRODUCT package so that they may define their minimal operating set properly. The presence or absence of this package on the system will indicate definitively which Product (if any) is operating here. 2) The fedora-release-$PRODUCT package (and possibly %post or systemd snippets therein) will be responsible for the creation and maintenance of /etc/issue, /etc/os-release and /etc/fedora-release-product (note: there is no $ there. That's the literal name. This file will be equivalent to /etc/fedora-release except that it will include the Product name. 3) fedora-release-$PRODUCT will have an explicit Conflict with all other fedora-release-$PRODUCT packages, to ensure that we do not mix-and-match (which is a combinatorial nightmare). Additionally, I am working on a proposal[1] for per-product configs in the Fedora 21 timeframe which is dependent on the above. It should be noted that this is an interim solution only; in Fedora 22 we will be able to vastly simplify this situation with the weak dependency support in RPM 4.12. (I was looking for a link detailing all of these weak deps, but I cannot find one. If you know of such a document, please reply and add it).
