--- Comment #6 from Alexey Dokuchaev <da...@freebsd.org> --- Sorry, but I don't like this approach. Relying on some file to carry information about the operating system instead of asking it directly would be only appropriate in some crippled, very ascetic environments. Usually, operating system should be asked, and most of them provide standard ways of doing so. Both Linux and FreeBSD provide uname(3) function as defined by POSIX[*], I'd assume that Windows also has something like that. > manually patching it means carrying a (likely) un-upstreamable patch. Why do you think upstream would not be interested in nice and clean patch instead of this "read from /etc/os-release" crap?
