Update OS_NAMES in RbConfigLibrary with additional mappings for other likely
host OSes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JRUBY-1958
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-1958
Project: JRuby
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Core Classes/Modules
Reporter: Charles Oliver Nutter
Fix For: JRuby 1.1
I added an OS_NAMES map in RbConfigLibrary to make OS checks work on JRuby like
they do on regular Ruby. The problem with the OS name Java provides is that it
has been "niced up", providing e.g. "Mac OS X" instead of some variant of
"darwin". This makes it very difficult for folks using JRuby to provide
cross-impl OS checks.
I only added three I knew of: "Mac OS X" and "Darwin" map to "darwin" (Sun JDK
and soylatte, respectively), and "Linux" maps to "linux".
A more complete list of possible os.name values is here:
http://lopica.sourceforge.net/os.html
We should use this list along with a list of the names Ruby uses to make this
map a bit more comprehensive.
