/etc/os-release

/etc/os-release

[akuster]

Hello all,

I noticed some reference to /etc/os-release in some recipes. Where can I 
find the initial creation of /etc/os-release? If one is not created, 
would there desire to have one?

regards,
Armin

Really?  We reference it in the meta/lib/oe/lsb.py release_dict_file() 
function to search for LSB information of the host machine to identify 
the host distro version information.

Can you be specific about which recipes are using os-release, I did do a 
search.

I'm pretty sure we don't have an os-release recipe in oe-core at all yet,
so the file isn't going to exist on target. Mentor has one in meta-mentor
at the moment pending time to submit it again / poke on the existing
thread. See the thread with the subject "[RFC PATCH 0/2] Add
/etc/os-release". It's definitely something we should have, in my opinion.

Yeah, That is what I was thinking of.
Thanks for the pointer.
