1998420 - Add a distribution.ini file to the in-tree RPM package

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Bastien Orivel [:eijebong]]

We probably want the distribution ID to be set for the same reasons as for the deb package. And we definitely want intl.locale.requested="" so that langpacks work seamlessly.

The distribution.ini comes from https://github.com/mozilla-partners/rpm
which matches what was done for debian files. This is required mostly to
be able to set intl.locale.requested="" which finally allows langpacks
to work seamlessly when installed but also to get the distribution id
correct (see bug 1811104 for the debian equivalent to that).

I reused inject_distribution_folder, I just changed the source_type
to match the repo name for debian and reused that for rpm, injecting the
files into rpm_dir (which matches what's done for langpacks and
desktop entry files) to be able to install it directly from the %prep
section without extra copies.

That function is only used twice throughout the repo and I doubt that
anyone calling it with a source type that isn't an existing repo in
mozilla-partners would expect to get a deb one by default.
