[manjaro-dev] Please add version information about Manjaro into /usr/lib/os-release

[Gerold Jens Wucherpfennig]

Hi Manjaro developers,

can you please add the version information and the codename of
Manjaro 20.0 into the file /usr/lib/os-release ?

Please add 'VERSION',
'VERSION_ID' and 'VERSION_CODENAME'.

The file is in the package "core/filesystem"


Regards

Gerold

The /etc/os-release spec contains tags for this: `VERSION`,
`VERSION_ID` and `VERSION_CODENAME`. You might want to support that
instead and propose that Manjaro ship an updated /etc/os-release with
these optional fields included.
