Noticed on my Manjaro machine that it would not pick up the distro "flavor" (arch) because the
NAME
field in/etc/os-release
was "Manjaro Linux".This patch modifies the
awk
script used to find the distro such that it will first attempt to use theID_LIKE
field to capture the "flavor", deferring toID
ifID_LIKE
is not set. Finally, it will defer toNAME
ifID
is not set. This makes more sense to me, asNAME
is meant to be a human legible field, andID
andID_LIKE
have standardized formats. A future feature could be more complex parsing ofID_LIKE
, but for now expecting a single value seems like it should be fine.Below I'm including descriptions of the described fields from
man os-release
as justification for this change:
