[gentoo-dev] Gentoo identification in Primary Volume Descriptor of ISOs

["Michal Prívozník" <mprivozn@redhat.com>]

Hi,

I've noticed (thanks to an issue reported against Libvirt [1]), that
neither minimal installation ISO nor liveGUI ISO contain anything inside
their Primary Volume Descriptors that would hint the ISO contains
Gentoo. This is unfortunate a bit, because matching VolumeID is exactly
how tools like libosinfo detect distro on given ISO [2] and then can
recommend some values when creating VMs with that ISO. In this specific
case, minimal amount of memory required to even boot the ISO (yeah, it
currently reports 256MiB which is too small for anything really).

Is there any chance this could be fixed, e.g. by reporting something in
VolumeID?

Michal
