please update to os_info = "3.5.0" to fix os detection for various linux distros

Problem

on linux-x64 (gentoo in my case) cargo -Vv shows wrong value for os:

cargo 1.64.0-nightly (4fd148c47 2022-08-03)
release: 1.64.0-nightly
commit-hash: 4fd148c47e733770c537efac5220744945d572ef
commit-date: 2022-08-03
host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
libgit2: 1.4.2 (sys:0.14.2 vendored)
libcurl: 7.83.1-DEV (sys:0.4.55+curl-7.83.1 vendored ssl:OpenSSL/1.1.1q)
os: OracleLinux 2.8.0 [64-bit]

the actuall fix in stanislav-tkach/os_info#317 is part of os_info v.3.5.0, please pull that update into the cargo nightly. Thank you.

Thank you for this posting!
The way to update is relatively simple. Updating os_info in Cargo.toml to os_info = 3.5.0 should be sufficient.

@weihanglo thanks for the fix; however I'm not very familiar with how the rust/cargo live branch works - how will the update be pulled into rust-lang/rust? I just compiled the live branch, and their cargo is actually four days old :D

The process has been documented here. Generally, Cargo team updates it about once a week. Whoever wants to update can follow the guide and post an PR against rust-lang/rust.

thanks, that sounds like a little over the top for my needs. I'll just wait happily for the update to be pulled in through rust-lang/rust git branch, so that I can confirm the fix (hopefully)
