Package: base-files
Version: 12.2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
/etc/os-release in testing and unstable does not set VERSION, VERSION_ID
and VERSION_CODENAME, which causes, for example, ansible to just emit
"NA" as distribution version, which forces me to special-case testing
and unstable.
I see possible issues with testing migration of base-files, ruling out
having different values for sid and testing until shortly before the
relase of a new stable version, but would it be possible to set one of
those values (maybe at least VERSION_CODENAME to "testing/unstable" or
"bookworm/sid") so that the special-casing of the version number is not
necessary any more?
I bet that most installations having a configuration management system
have a small number of testing/unstable boxes in their fleet to
anticipate for possibly necessary changes, and having to special-case
the development versions kind of contradicts this intention.
Thanks for considering.
Greetings
Marc

* Add VERSION_CODENAME to /etc/os-release. Closes: #1008735.
This still respects the fact that Debian distributions do not have
a version number until they are actually released as stable, but makes
/etc/os-release a little bit more useful for those who use testing as
a pre-release for the next stable. Those users are also the reason why
in this case we are simply using the string "bookworm".
