2012-11-02 10:04:47 Ryan Finnie description /etc/os-release is the wave of the future (see LP: #947236). Finnix has recently added the file (see LP: 1072223), but: 1) The finnix-release package maintains lsb_release as the canonical source, and builds os-release based on info from os-release. This should be reversed. 2) Other utilities (mostly in finnix-scripts) refer to lsb_release for information. These should be switched to os-release. /etc/lsb_release can remain, but shouldn't be relied upon. /etc/os-release is the wave of the future (see LP: #947236).
