Re: [Oscar-devel] OS_Detect Framework

[Ram Kumar DANGETI]

 Please dont consider my previous request. That was a quick trail. Anyway I just went through the entire code and the following is the output on my debian machine(after slight modifications in code) . Now that OS_Detect is in place, I think its time for me to work on some other debian components. Is there any tentative list of components that that were already discussed and are in the todo list ?
--- DEBUG OS_Detect--
Fedora.pm did not return a true value at (eval 1) line 3.
RedHat.pm did not return a true value at (eval 2) line 3.
  **DEBUG**
  OCA::OS_Detect::Debian
                       os = Linux
                     arch = i686
               os_release = 2.6.12
             linux-distro = Debian
     linux-distro-version = 3.1
Undefined subroutine &main::Dumper called at ./test line 14.
