flattened fedora-live-base.ks including the added packages and a few modifications

Description of problem: I created a live OS based on fedora-live-base.ks. When trying to install fedora 35 with this iso I got the message "Anaconda Bluesky Installation. Pre-Release/Testing despite having modified the fedora-repo.ks so livemedia-creator would use fedora-repo-non-rawhide.ks


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
35.7

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1.flattened fedora-live-base.ks (fedora 35)

2. ran livemedia-creator

3. booted the custom fedora 35 iso (with openbox and xorg server) and entered "# anaconda --liveinst" to enter installation

Actual results:
livemedia-creator created a Pre-Release/Testing version of fedora (Bluesky) 


Expected results:
livemedia-creator should have made a stable version of fedora 35

Additional info: 

I had this same problem with lorax with fedora 30. Brian Lane who was in charge of lorax at the time, stated that having the “generic-release” package  caused this problem. He said that instead I should include the "fedora-release" package. I modified the fedora-live-xfce.ks as he had indicated and the resulting iso was a stable release instead of the Bluesky edition. In the current fedora-live-base.ks there is neither of these two packages.

Comment 1 Brian Lane 2021-12-01 17:24:42 UTC
fedora-release has been split into more specific release packages, the source for them is here: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/fedora-release

So if you are building an xfce based iso you can use fedora-release-xfce (but note that there are legal restrictions on using the Fedora branding, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal:Trademark_guidelines).

Also, you should not need to run anaconda --liveinst to start the installed, there should be a desktop icon to run the liveinst script and setup the environment.
