What's the rationale for this?
Once the distro is installed those tags have very little meaning to a
rolling release.
The data is already in /etc/lsb-release.
$ cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=ManjaroLinux
DISTRIB_RELEASE=20.0
DISTRIB_CODENAME=Lysia
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Manjaro Linux"
So why is this information in
/etc/lsb-release?
The developers of kinfocenter
do not want to include this obsolete data
and are asking for this data
to be included, it has to be stored
in /usr/lib/os-release.
They do not want to change
kinfocenter to include old LSB data.
You say that version tags have very
little meaning in a rolling release
distribution like Manjaro.
What do other people think about this?
Sorry for bothering you,
I just wanted to improve kinfocenter
a bit on Manjaro.
