Does anyone have a better method for determining the distro and release
for Debian/Ubuntu? /etc/issue isn't always consistent,
/etc/debian-release doesn't help for Ubuntu, /etc/lsb-release isn't
always there.
So far I have:
# Release code name (should be 5 lines)
codename=$(perl -ne 'print qq(1ドル\n) if
m!^deb.*?(?:debian|ubuntu)/\s+(\w+)\s+main!;' /etc/apt/sources.list)
[ -n "$codename" ] || {
echo "Release codename not set, 'export codename=name' before
running..."
exit 2
}
# Debian or Ubuntu
if grep -q 'debian.org' /etc/apt/sources.list; then
# Do something
elif grep -q 'ubuntu.com' /etc/apt/sources.list; then
# Do something
else
echo "/etc/apt/sources.list doesn't look like Debian or Ubuntu,
skipping..."
exit 3
fi
Thanks,
JP

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
