Zooko O'Whielacronx <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Well, for what it is worth I've updated the custom "detect linux distribution" code in Tahoe yet again. The current version first tries to parse /etc/lsb-version (fast, gives a good answer on Ubuntu, and hopefully at least semi-standardized), then invokes platform.dist() (fast, customized, but gives a bad answer on Ubuntu), and then if platform.dist() returns an empty distribution or empty release (which I'm not sure if that is even possible), it invokes lsb_release -a in a subprocess (slow, totally standardized).
Here's the patch: http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/changeset/2981 Running it on the Tahoe buildbot shows that we currently have the followings kinds of buildslaves: http://allmydata.org/buildbot/waterfall?show_events=true Linux-Ubuntu_6.06-i686-32bit, Linux-Ubuntu_6.10-i686-32bit, Linux-Ubuntu_7.10-i686-32bit, SunOS-5.11-i86pc-i386-32bit, Linux-Ubuntu_7.04-i686-32bit, Linux-debian_4.0-i686-32bit, Linux-Ubuntu_8.04-i686-32bit, Darwin-9.4.0-i386-32bit, Linux-Ubuntu_8.04-x86_64-64bit, Windows-XP-5.1.2600-SP2, CYGWIN_NT-5.1-1.5.25-0.156-4-2-i686-32bit-WindowsPE _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1322> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
