Vote for options 1 and 2.
Option 3 doesn't work for disk-setup upgrade, as I think alpine-release file
never got copied/updated then ;)

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!
