631806 - Expose lsb-release information

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 602209

(Socorro :: General, task)

Description

[Andre Klapper]

User-Agent:       Maemo Browser
Build Identifier: 

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=624323 was forwarded to GNOME Bugzilla.
OS and OS Version are collected by Socorro, but in case it's Linux having distribution data would be even better for reproducing.
I don't know how hard this is to implement, but GNOME's bug-buddy tool for example extracts this information from files in /etc. See
http://git.gnome.org/browse/bug-buddy/tree/src/distribution.c line 79 for the list.

Reproducible: Always

We already collect this, it's in the minidumps. We just have to expose it:

Also apparently I filed this a while ago.
