Issue Type:

Bug report

$ ansible --version
ansible 1.8

Environment:

Archlinux host

Summary:

ansible_os_family no longer returns "Archlinux" for my Arch machines. It now returns "NA"

Expected Results:

    "ansible_os_family": "Archlinux", 

Actual Results:

    "ansible_os_family": "NA",

Observing the same behaviour here in Ansible 1.7.1.

~$ ansible -m setup arch-box | grep ansible_os_family
        "ansible_os_family": "NA",  

[dcbishop]

Same here with 1.7.1. Also NA for the the ansible_distribution values:

    "ansible_os_family": "NA", 
    "ansible_distribution": "NA", 
    "ansible_distribution_major_version": "NA", 
    "ansible_distribution_release": "NA", 
    "ansible_distribution_version": "NA",

Confirming the observations of @dcbishop using 1.7.1 on Arch Linux. All distribution and the os_family values are NA.

Module Repo Information

Hi!

Thanks very much for your interest in Ansible. It sincerely means a lot to us.

This appears to be a submission about a module, and aside from action_plugins, if you know what those are, the modules
in ansible are now moved two seperate repos. We would appreciate if you can submit this there instead.

If this is about a new module, submit pull requests or ideas to:

• https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras

If this is about an existing module:

• Find the module at http://docs.ansible.com/list_of_all_modules.html
• Open the documentation page for that module
• If the bottom of the docs say "This is an extras module", submit your ticket to https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-extras
• Otherwise, submit your module to https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core

Additionally, should you need more help with this, you can ask questions on:

• IRC: #ansible on irc.freenode.net
• mailing list: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ansible-project

Thanks!
