It would be helpful to provide a way to identify these composes in .composeinfo file
When do you need this? (YYYY/MM/DD) F34 Beta
If we cannot complete your request, what is the impact? Its hard to consume the composes and differentiate between them
Metadata Update from @mohanboddu: - Issue tagged with: dev, high-trouble, medium-gain
When the Beta is released and lands in each of RH Beaker labs it get imported to the pxe menu as 'fedora-33' since it uses .composeinfo for naming. When the GOLD is released it is ignored since it is also identified at 'fedora-33' in the .composeinfo. Someone will request GOLD be imported and that is handled manually. Problem occurs at this point at the pxe is already populated w/ the initrd and kernel from the Beta and is a mismatch w/ GOLD. pxe menu does not get updated as it sees fedora-33 already populated in the menu. The mismatch causes pxe installs / beaker jobs to fail. Clean up is required. This or something similar happens every fedora release. Many hours could be recovered if we only had a distinction in the .composeinfo for the 'name' for Beta and GOLD. Perhaps fedora-33-Beta and Fedora-33.
Safe to say this was not ready by F34 Beta. Is this still something that's needed? If not I recommend we close this.
