[RFC PATCH 0/2] Custom base-files

[Vijai Kumar K <Vijaikumar_Kanagarajan@mentor.com>]

This series introduced 2 patchsets.
P1 though could be a separate patchset, is clubbed with this series
since it is needed for P2.

This series removes the postprocessing logic that modifies /etc/os-release
to inject custom data into it. Instead, proposes a custom base-files
based approach to solve the problem.

The basic issue identified with the post-processing approach is that
the information put onto /etc/os-release will be overwritten by the
one provided by the base-files package on reinstall/upgrade.

For a history of this issue and relevant discussions please see [1]

This might need some entry in user-manual and/or changelog. Will be
added after further testing and in the final version of the patchset.

Vijai Kumar K (2):
  dpkg-base: Handle custom source directory in do_apt_fetch
  recipes-core: Add recipe for base-files
