Scripts that are looking at NAME rather than ID aren't following the spec correctly and should be updated. > Is there any plan for the Fedora Project to make another full OS (that > would have a different value in os-release)? Or is this just a > pre-emptive "we might someday"? I don't think that's a requirement; we have non-OS Fedora Things that aren't part of Fedora Linux.

This certainly would be useful if openSUSE takes up my offer to come under our umbrella, though. :) -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
