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?
