#6008 .composeinfo and .treeinfo should have family=Fedora
Closed: Fixed None Opened 9 years ago by dcallagh.

The .composeinfo file for Fedora 21 Alpha Server currently has this:

{{{
[product]
family = Fedora-Server
name = Fedora-Server-21_Alpha
version = 21_Alpha
variants = Server
}}}

For future F21 composes please update it so that the family is just "Fedora", with "Server" as the variant like it is currently.

This is consistent with how RHEL has been doing its variant products for many years. It also just makes more sense -- all the new Fedora variants are in the same family, that's the whole point of that field. And it will make our lives easier in Beaker, where we use the family to figure out which harness builds to use and which kickstart syntax to use.


This is a bit of a pain point for QA as we work towards getting the nightly trees imported into beaker. We've worked around the issue by forcing the Family to be "Fedora" during the import process in Beaker but it would be nice to have it work more automatically.

Setting family to "Fedora" makes sense to me unless there's some hidden pitfall that I'm not aware of.

The family value is wrong in the .treeinfo for all Fedora 21 trees produced. This is making life difficult for Beaker (and maybe other tools?), please fix it at least for Fedora 22.
