=head1 NAME

Sys::OsRelease::Lite - repackaged distribution to provide Sys::OsRelease on Perl older than 5.22

=head1 SYNOPSIS

none

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Sys::OsRelease::Lite serves only as an installation target for an alternative way to install L<Sys::OsRelease>
on Perl versions older than 5.22.
It provides no other functionality except to make Sys::OsRelease available as part of the distribution.

This is a repackaging of Sys::OsRelease for older versions of Perl before 5.22.
This was made because dependencies of Dist::Zilla forced it to bump its minimum Perl version to 5.22,
which in turn forced Sys::OsRelease to follow.
Sys::OsRelease::Lite provides Sys::OsRelease with the same source code,
implemented as a symbolic link in the common Git repository that houses both modules.
It is packaged with L<ExtUtils::MakeMaker> to maintain availability back to Perl 5.10.
Compatibility was at time time still being maintained via CPAN testing was back to 5.10.
The use case was systems with RHEL 6 on Perl 5.10.1 and RHEL 7 on Perl 5.16,
or similar variations.
