pkg/utils: Offer built-in support for Arch Linux #1311
Conversation
Operating system distributions like Arch Linux that follow a rolling-release model don't have the concept of a release. The latest snapshot is the only available release. A subsequent commit will add built-in support for Arch Linux. Hence, the code can no longer assume that every distribution will have a matching release. containers#1311
This allows using the --distro option to create and enter Arch Linux containers. Due to Arch's rolling-release model, the --release option isn't required. If --release is used, the accepted values are 'latest' and 'rolling'. containers#1311

A subsequent commit will add built-in support for Arch Linux. Hence, the code can no longer assume that every distribution will have a matching release. Note that just because an operating system distribution may not have the concept of a release, it doesn't mean that it will accept an invalid 'release' option. containers#1311
