Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1434546
[RFE] include VARIANT and VARIANT_ID in os-release
Last modified: 2017-08-01 13:36:58 EDT
It's standardized and can be used by other tools (like microdnf) to find out variant of distro.
giving it devel_ack+ but also want to make sure that people know that we're not going to fix this retrospectively for older releases. Only RHEL-7.4+ @jstodola: This one came relatively late, but I see a point in fixing it.

Only RHEL-7.4+ By the way, should I file same bugreports for all redhat-release-* or we can just do everything in one bugreport?
Hello Jan, I expect VARIANT and VARIANT_ID to be same for all of main RHEL variants. The issue is that we're using VARIANT while the standardised one is VARIANT_ID. Lubos
Fixed in redhat-release-client-7.4-17.el7
Fixed in last build, sorry for not removing that one as well Lubos
VARIANT and VARIANT_ID are present in /etc/os-release, tested on Snapshot1 with: redhat-release-server-7.4-15.el7 redhat-release-client-7.4-18.el7 redhat-release-computenode-7.4-14.el7 redhat-release-workstation-7.4-15.el7 Moving to VERIFIED.
