[Bug 486432] New: please provide lsb-release -i value that doesn't match SLE* products
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486432 Summary: please provide lsb-release -i value that doesn't match SLE* products Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bryan.gartner@hp.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.7) Gecko/2009030810 Iceweasel/3.0.7 (Debian-3.0.7-1) I would like to use the output of lsb_release to expose distribution information in a 3rd party application. However, the output of this command overlaps with that of the SLE* products, making it difficult to distinguish, without parsing the entire "-a" or other options. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.lsb_release -i Distributor ID: SUSE LINUX 2. try same command on SLE* products Expected Results: Upon invocation on an openSUSE system, I'd expect a distinct namespace. As a precedence refer to Fedora not returning the same as RedHat distros. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The "Description" field is used for the name of the distribution. From the pure wording of the manual page SUSE Linux for openSUSE and SLE* is the correct usage. But since the example in the manual page is using the Distributor ID as Distribution ID, I filled an upstream bug report for clearifcation: http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2582 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
