There is an updated pull request by pullmoll against master on the void-packages repository https://github.com/pullmoll/void-packages osrel https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/12160 runit-void: update os-release information The file /etc/os-release is used by e.g. os-prober (for grub) to extract information for both, grub labels and user information. For multiple boot partitions like glibc vs. musl libc, big vs. little endian the user could not tell which partition contained which variant because their names was always just "void". This update creates an individual /etc/os-release containing information about the libc (glibc or musl), the CPU architecture and endianness, and the floating point options, if they are relevant. The variable DISTRIB_ID is not defined in the description at: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/12160.patch is attached
