Hi all,

We received a few reports [1] [2] detailing issues with installing the advanced-virtualization release package on non-CentOS systems. It appears the problem boils down to some logic in the %post section of the specfile that writes out the variables to /etc/dnf/vars/.

While we can maintain a patch downstream, we wanted to open this upstream and see if we could clarify the intention of the logic in the conditional, and implement a fix for all downstream EL distributions which may encounter this problem.

From my understanding, on a CentOS Stream system, the avstream/avdir "tuple" should be set to 8-stream, advancedvirt-common, and on everything else, including CentOS 8, it should be 8, advanced-virtualization.

Please let me know if my understanding of the intended logic is correct, and if so, I'd be happy to open a PR to address this issue.

Kind regards,
Neil
