I doubt this will be done by other distributions anyway. > Dpkg::Vendor should thus be updated to be able to use those (cross-distro > standardized) I guess by “cross-distro standardized” you mean unilateral systemd-Linux specific “standard”, because I don't see non-Linux systems adopting this, not even all GNU/Linux distros, and certainly not for something like dpkg, which would imply deploying a generic file only for dpkg use. And in that case the dpkg origin files would need to be suppored anyway, which means that supporting os-release is pointless. This is the equivalent of wanting to add support for lsb_release... > files when they exist so that we can deprecate the > debian-specific /etc/dpkg/origins/*. I guess you mean dpkg-specific, because there's nothing Debian-specific about those, but in any case I strongly disagree with deprecating them. guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-dpkg-bugs-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
