But I think we should use $target, instead of $host for user-agent to support cross compile scenarios. Also I've checked $target_os for our build bots and their values are: * OpenBSD: 'i386-unknown-openbsd5.0' ($target_os = 'openbsd5.0', $target_vendor='unknown') * Centos: 'x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu' ($target_os='linux-gnu'; $target_vendor='redhat') * Ubuntu: ''x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'' ($target_os=''linux-gnu''; $target_vendor='unknown')
I've also googled for different autoconf outputs: * MacOS: 'x86_64-apple-darwin11.2.0' * cygwin: 'i686-pc-cygwin' * mingw: 'i686-pc-mingw32' We can use all $target triplet in user-agent or just $target_os. I have no opinion on this matter. Any thoughts? -- Ivan Zhakov
