Why does bianca release of elxr-minimal-ostree-imx-26.04.01-arm64 image contain "aria" references?

Technical Discussions Releases

No idea if this is the right place to ask (or even if the question is reasonable), but in perusing the image file for elxr-minimal-ostree-imx-26.04.01-arm64 and mounting the ROOT partition, and examining the ostree root filesystem, I notice numerous references to the “aria” release rather than to what I would have thought should be “bianca”. One example is the /etc/os-release file:

PRETTY_NAME=“eLxr 12 (aria)”
NAME=“eLxr”
VARIANT=“Edge Edition”
VARIANT_ID=edge
VERSION_ID=“12”
VERSION=“12 (aria)”
VERSION_CODENAME=aria
ID=elxr

… snip …

Should all of that not refer to “bianca”?

The /etc/apt/sources.list.d/0000mirror.list file also contains references to aria rather than bianca:

deb http://mirror.elxr.dev/elxr aria main non-free-firmware contrib

Is this deliberate and am I just misunderstanding something?

Your understanding is correct and bianca images should generally not have any reference to aria (and vice versa). How did you get there?

I just tried again and can’t reproduce your issue. After downloading https://downloads.elxr.dev/elxr-minimal-imx-26.04.01-arm64.img.zst and running

qemu-system-aarch64 \
  -machine virt -cpu cortex-a57 -m 2048 -smp 2 \
  -bios /usr/share/qemu-efi-aarch64/QEMU_EFI.fd \
  -drive file=elxr-minimal-ostree-imx-26.04.01-arm64.img,format=raw,if=virtio \
  -nographic

I see this:

# cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="eLxr 26.04.01"
NAME="eLxr"
VARIANT="Edge Edition"
VARIANT_ID=edge
VERSION_ID="26.04"

I was looking at the ostree image.

I just downloaded that same arm64 ostree image and, suddenly, the references to aria are gone, replaced by references to bianca. I swear, when I did this a few days ago, those aria references were there. I can’t explain it.

Do you still have the previous image? If the name says elxr-minimal-ostree-imx-26.04.01-arm64 and then the content says aria, that’s interesting…

I didn’t save the earlier image, and I am baffled as to how I might have gotten this wrong, since I wouldn’t have downloaded the eLxr 12 image as I had no interest in it. I can’t explain it, and the image I downloaded this morning seems fine.

I’m sure that I was so puzzled when I first saw this that I redid the download just to make sure I hadn’t screwed it up but now everything seems fine. So unless there’s a record of a new image being uploaded in the last couple of days, I have no explanation.

Thanks for your patience. We’ll monitor this internally, and we’ll let you know if we find something.
