No biggy, but I'm not sure whether replacing the contents of /etc/fedora-release (from fedora-release) would give my any trouble, and if so, whether we need to replace fedora-release when rebranding as well.

The idea is that if you're adding packages, etc., you'd be pointing
at your own repos, in which case you already want to modify *-release.


This problem is the case where you just want to rebrand, not including other packages or doing anything non-Fedora. For example, live spins that have not been approved by the Board yet, will want to:

%packages
-fedora-logos
+generic-logos
%end

and the machine booting the live media would still show "Welcome to Fedora". Can one safely do:

%post
sed -i -e "s/Fedora/Generic/g" /etc/fedora-release
%end

?

Kind regards,
