Subject: How to update os-release information
Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2021 08:49:09 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c107a46b-59de-ed2f-fcb7-b938218eb03d@siemens.com> (raw)

Hi,

as reported [1], the current code (function "update_etc_os_release" in "meta/classes/image-postproc-extension.bbclass") is changing /etc/os-release in a wrong way... Now the question is, which is the right way?

In some internal discussions I've realized that the approach that I'm proposing is technically Ok, but doesn't appear to be the common one. Debian-derived distros strongly changing vanilla Debian (e.g. Ubuntu and Purism) are creating their own "base-files" packages containing their information. I'd propose contacting upstream Debian [2] to find out which is the best approach and why.

Regards,

   Silvano
