Hi Davide,

I would like to figure out if anyone has proposed any kind of standard for storing metadata about a system image.

We need to track metadata about an image that has been flashed to a device. /etc/os-release is really good for tracking information about the operating system, but it doesn't allow us to distinguish between 2 images of the same operating system having a different set of packages and configurations.

Our idea was to ship a /etc/base-image file

What's wrong with using /etc/os-release as intended along with the keys in the spec e.g. IMAGE_ID and IMAGE_VERSION ?

Thanks
Chris
