While not exactly the same thing, there is a similar file being
generated when LSB is enabled. It can be used outside of the LSB
configuration as well.
The recipe is simply 'lsb'. It provides some basic initscript functions
(required by the lsb) as well as the /etc/lsb-release file which is
pretty close to the output below.
I have wondered in the past if we should add a similar file to what the
LSB or below is doing to 'base-files'.
That sound good to me. There seems to be a move in the community at
large to support "/os-release".
1. Announcement of /etc/os-release
http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/os-release
2. Common Platform Enumeration Specification
http://cpe.mitre.org/specification/
3. RFC3986 format
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986
I tried the patch an it looks good.
many thanks,
Armin

The /etc/os-release will have the operating system identification data.
Tested on target with systemd enabled. Here is the sample file looks
in the file:
ID=poky-ivi-systemd
NAME=Yocto GENIVI Baseline (Poky/meta-ivi)
VERSION=6.0+snapshot-20140721 (daisy)
VERSION_ID=6.0+snapshot-20140721
