Description Geoffrey Marr 2023-10-11 17:01:58 UTC 
Booted Fedora-IoT-ostree-x86_64-39-20231010.0.iso on baremetal. Ran through installer process like normal using defaults and making both a root and user account. Boot into installed system and noticed that the entry in grub showed 20231006 instead of 20231010. Checked /etc/os-release and PRETTY_NAME field shows "Fedora Linux 39.20231006.0 (IoT Edition Prerelease)".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora-IoT-ostree-x86_64-39-20231010.0.iso.
2. Run "cat /etc/os-release"
3. View PRETTY_NAME field.
Actual Results:  
PRETTY_NAME field shows "Fedora Linux 39.20231006.0 (IoT Edition Prerelease)".

Expected Results:  
PRETTY_NAME field shows "Fedora Linux 39.20231010.0 (IoT Edition Prerelease)"
Comment 1 David Tardon 2023-10-20 08:59:32 UTC 
/etc/os-release is part of fedora-release package and it's created when the package is built. Hence, the values in os-release are relevant to the date of the last build of fedora-release, not to the date of production of an ostree ISO (which, I assume, happens more often).
