Is that right?
The reference images from poky do not include os-release package which will provide this information, so you can manually add it via local.conf to IMAGE_INSTALL distros do add it for their specific images e.g. https://github.com/YoeDistro/yoe-distro/blob/master/sources/meta-yoe/recipes-core/images/yoe-simple-image.bb#L21 > > Is there anywhere else inside the image where information about the distro > being built is stored? > > I'm relatively inexperience with YP.
