The default image group is already encoded in
/usr/share/flatcar/update.conf but it was written to
/etc/flatcar/update.conf as well. This can cause problems when the user
switches channels by forcing an update to a specific release from the
different channel (e.g., through the flatcar-update tool) as it leaves
the file under /etc/flatcar/update.conf out of sync with the new
channel version in /usr/share/flatcar/update.conf.
Since we don't really need to write a specific channel to /etc on new
images as we can rely on the value from /usr, we now leave any possible
overwriting of the value in /etc entirely to the user.
Flatcar is in the NIST CPE dictionary. Let's programmatically build the
`CPE_NAME` in the build process in order to be scanned.
`CPE_NAME` is part of `/etc/os-release` with the following manual entry:
```
CPE_NAME=
A CPE name for the operating system, in URI binding syntax, following the Common Platform Enumeration Specification[2] as proposed by the NIST.
This field is optional. Example: "CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:fedoraproject:fedora:17""
...
[^2]: Common Platform Enumeration Specification
http://scap.nist.gov/specifications/cpe/
```
Which indicates that the current version of CPE is 2.3.

os-release is requested in bug reports, and knowing which board
the problem occurred on is often helpful.

This variable was semi-deprecated ages ago so `version.txt` could follow
a similar variable naming pattern to `os-release`. Finally drop usage of
it here in favor of `$COREOS_VERSION`.
We added a new https certificate on the new update service and changed
the hostname to be consistent with all of the other endpoints. Update
the new images to use this.
The old URL http://public.roller.core-os.net will remain working until
all of the old client have been updated.
- Remove custom COREOS_* attributes from /etc/lsb-release
- Move dev image logic to dev_image_util
For extra fun fix detection of local host URL for devserver.
- Remove weirdly verbose "DESCRIPTION" format.
- Add COREOS_RELEASE_BOARD back to /usr/share/coreos/release
This is mostly just so update_engine and gmerge report the correct
board name to devserver, informative-only on prod images.
- Remove version info from /etc/gentoo-release
- Switch from 'track' to 'group' terminology.
Fix the problem of: "pecified switch root path %s does not seem to be an
OS tree. /etc/os-release is missing" because dracut doesn't have an
/usr/share/coreos/os-release file.
I want to start including version info in SDK builds as an alternative
scheme to the existing "chroot_version_hooks" system which always
assumes freshly unpacked SDKs are the latest regardless of what version
they actually were.
