By submitting this issue, I confirm the following:
- I have read and understood the developer guide in kovri-docs.
- I have checked that the issue I am reporting can be replicated or that the feature I am suggesting is not present.
- I have checked opened or recently closed pull requests for existing solutions/implementations to my issue/suggestion.
CMakeLists.txt has a function Uname(), which I would like to replace.
Reason:
uname -a will never work here! I suggest using /etc/os-release to detect distro. My research shows that /etc/os-release should be available on recent versions of the currently supported distros Arch and Ubuntu plus many others.

What do you mean by this? What is gentoo's output?
/etc/os-release
This is far less portable than uname so I would like to avoid this if possible.
