Subject: new: dev: Print OS platform in "named -V"
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=74a3c561aab3716605403264e8983f9dab59add7;p=thirdparty%2Fbind9.git

new: dev: Print OS platform in "named -V"

The "running on" line emitted by `named -V` (as well as the startup
log and `rndc status`, which share the same source) now appends the
PRETTY_NAME value from /etc/os-release in parentheses after the uname
output, e.g.:

    running on Linux x86_64 6.19.14-... (Fedora Linux 42 (Workstation Edition))

This helps disambiguate environments where the kernel string is not a
reliable indicator of the userspace, such as RHEL clones and
containers whose kernel does not match the host OS.

When /etc/os-release is absent, /usr/lib/os-release is tried as a
fallback per the systemd os-release(5) specification. When neither is
available or no PRETTY_NAME is found, the output is unchanged.
