The Chef Software seems to maintain a copy of the os-release of major Linux distribution: https://github.com/chef/os_release Copy of the project README: # os_release This repo contains the /etc/os-release file from Linux distros. ## About os-release /etc/os-release is a standard Linux file used to identify the OS, os release, and similar distros. It's now a standard file in systemd distros, but it can be found in just about every Linux distro released over the last 3-4 years. ## Why collect them The fields in /etc/os-release are standardized, but the values are not. The only way to know that Redhat Enterprise Linux is 'rhel' or that openSUSE 15 is 'opensuse-leap' is to install the distros and check the file. This repo is a large collection of os-release files so you don't need to install each and every distro. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue28468> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
