I just noticed this comment in 13.1 - whoever it is that is deprecating /etc/SuSE-release, please be aware of the many third-party tools that rely on it. At the very least keep /etc/SuSE-release as a symlink to /etc/os-release.
This third party tools are broken..;)
Yes, but they aren't being upgraded, for instance because they are really mostly meant for SLES.
We've seen such comment before :-(
Main difference however is, that tools like lsb_release, are producing reliable output for already a fair number of releases, at least 11.x So people or other 3rd parties had quite enough time to adjust.
The user is stuck when the 3rd party tools aren't being updated though. But I know, in this distro we don't care much about our poor users :-(
Hey, when this happens, give me 30 minutes (including build and publish) to create a compatibility package, that creates this file dynamically on installation.. ;-)
Yep, that would be the right approach. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - dedicated server rental in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
