Description Justin Clift 2012-08-26 04:55:36 UTC

Description of problem:

  String matching in target_content.xml is case sensitive at present.
  For example "Fedora" will match, but "fedora" won't.

  This is non-obvious, and makes things harder than they need to be.

  Ian mentioned in IRC chat the TDL will likely need updating as
  well, as it specifies case sensitivity.



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

  imagefactory-1.1.1-1.fc16

Comment 1 Ian McLeod 2012-08-31 15:56:16 UTC

Almost every element of TDL and of the target_content.xml file is case sensitive.  This includes the XML tags, RPM names, the directory components of yum repos.

Is there a particular reason why we think people will have difficulty using the correct case for OS names?  Can we address this in documentation and error reporting rather than adding a single case-insensitive exception for OS name?

Closing as ancient and unlikely to be worked on.
