RFC: start integrating with libosinfo for URLs
This is the start of integration with libosinfo, at least for getting the URLs of install trees and ISOs (#38). The libosinfo usage is still optional, so without it URLs are still required. The implementation allow changing/setting the libosinfo short ID, and the variant for it (some distros use it).
The implementation and the UX may not be the best, but that can be improved :) So let's start a discussion about libosinfo, and whether can be unconditionally used, and how.
I'm quite interested in this topic; it has been on the Oz TODO list for many years. From that perspective, thanks a lot for kicking this off. I will mention two things:
- My primary workstation is having some trouble right now, so I'm having a hard time testing anything with Oz. I believe this is a bug in F27, but until I get that resolved, I can't do a whole lot of testing here.
- I'm going to be away from the computer for most of the next week or so. Don't take it as ignoring you, just time off.
I'll definitely take a look at this in the New Year.
