/etc/os-release being absent should not result in a build failure.
Yes. This should be the first thing to fix.
Commit 29cd1877acd91883df32bf71ec07fe908e96db32 does not say why ID= was used. This grep should be relaxed to ID_LIKE=.
We have to consider *both*, because only looking at ID_LIKE would not work on some distros: $ grep -E '^ID(_LIKE)*=' /etc/os-release ID=fedora $
Furthermore, if both qemu_user and qemu_group are known, no grep is required.
Do you mean that if the user has passed -Dqemu_user=... -Dqemu_group=... to meson we could skip the detection logic? That'd be nice, but I'm afraid it might make the code less readable for very little gain. Are you going to take a stab at these patches? -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
