OS release information #204

Closed mats-nk closed 10 months ago

mats-nk commented 10 months ago

The info in /etc/os-release differs between Bullseye and Bookworm.

Many scripts uses /etc/os-release to detect what OS release is used and with Bookworm it is impossible to detect that it is a "Raspberry Pi OS" aka raspbian OS running.

It would be appreciated if Bookworm continue to be detected as "Raspberry Pi OS" or raspbian in the future.

Bullseye cat /etc/os-release

Duplicate of https://github.com/RPi-Distro/repo/issues/293

This makes me sad, os_release has an intention and it is treated in this way!

As the issue @XECDesign has linked to demonstrates, this is a 32-bit / 64-bit OS difference, not a Bullseye / Bookworm difference.

It is not even a Bookworm/Bullseye issue it is a done wrong and done right issue and it is still a higher motivation to motivate to do wrong than to correct it. So sad.

Well if it matters to you that much, I guess you'll have to just keep using the 32-bit versions of Raspberry Pi OS (based on upstream Raspbian) rather than using the 64-bit versions (based on upstream Debian). No need to be sad :smiley:
