I'm happy to write a bug. Do you prefer something along the lines of "Split lsb_release into
a subpackage" or perhaps "Split redhat-lsb-core into finer-grained subpackages"?
For me, having an lsb_release subpackage would be best, because that is all I
need for KiCad. But I'll also pursue Neal's comment about changing wxWidgets
to get the info another way.
The distro command from python3-distro may also help if you *must* use
a command-line tool.
But reading the file directly would be better.
I've created a bug [2] requesting that wxGTK use a file from os-release rather
than lsb_release.
Worst case scenario, I could bring over a port of SUSE's lsb_release
package that uses os-release for its data into Fedora[1].
That is a very interesting approach that could potentially help other customers
of the information.
Given where the Linux ecosystem is today, I think lsb_release should be
deprecated and no tool should depend on it anymore.
The idea behind LSB is that all systems would have it and tools can
count on it, but in practice that's not true. os-release is now well
defined and much more relevant given it's present without installing
additional tools. So effectively os-release is fulfilling the LSB
promise, but on a much smaller scope.
Investing in lsb_release feels like a wasted effort.
