accessing /etc/issue from flatpak

[Winnie Poon]

I added the --filesystem=host, but i coudlnt' find the /run/host path?    Is it under the "build-dir" directory after flatpak-builder generates it?

I see these folders under the build directory:

files  metadata  var

under the var/run, there's no host

Am i looking at the wrong place?

I think if you add --filesystem=host, you can access /run/host/etc.

Hi,

i'm new to sandboxing using flatpak.

For the code that i'm working on, i need to access the /etc/issue or /etc/redhat-release to get the system specific info in the cmake process.   Obviously in the sandbox, the /etc is blacklisted.    Could anyone suggest a good way to handle this?  Is there something equivalent in the flatpak environment to obtain system information?    Thanks!

Winnie
