You will get the file for free but it will still need adjusting to have Ubuntu specific information. As a side note, in addition to the distros I listed earlier I noticed that Gentoo also added this 3 months back: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/baselayout/trunk/etc.Linux/os-release?view=log&pathrev=3203 Also Slackware have just added this to their development version, so the next Slackware version (14. 0, which is currently at RC3), will include it as well: http://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-current/source/a/aaa_base/os-release Quantal will be the odd one out, since most of the well known distros already have this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/947236 Title: Please provide /etc/os-release To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-files/+bug/947236/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
