Hi,
http://redmine.alpinelinux.org/issues/418
Currently, the alpine-release is a symlink to a raw file on the cdrom.
once you have installed to disk the /etc/alpine-release link is broken.
I wonder how we deal with this?
some alternatives:
1: have a separate alpine-release package that only holds
the /etc/alpine-release file and nothing more.
2: add /etc/alpine-release to alpine-base package.
3: add /etc/alpine-release to alpine-baselayout package.
4: copy the .alpine-release file from cdrom/usb to / when doing
setup-disk.
options 1-3 means we need to modify the initramfs script to not copy
that file. (which i think is good). I think i prever either option #1 or
#2.
Other options or ideas?
Thanks!

Well, apk package index also provides similar information now. Apk could
update it on 'apk update' or 'apk upgrade' or so.

Thats also an option. Not sure if I want that hardcoded in apk though.
Having it in a package would also update it with 'apk upgrade'. I think
that is how other distros do too. Fedora have fedora-release and debian
have base-files.
I think I'd like it in alpine-base, which kinda defines what is base
system is.
