[Savannah-register-public] [task #6633] Submission of distroname

[Juan Manuel Borges Caño]

Follow-up Comment #2, task #6633 (project administration):

Hello.
Yes, maybe improve lsb_release is a solution, but I think that lsb
stands for Linux Standard Base so the goals are not the same. They should
change their goals to catch all the possible distributions of the world. This
are the goals of distroname. It uses lsb_release to reuse the linux standard
base distribution detection, but goes more far than linux systems.
I think it can be useful for configuration applications, that depends on the
distribution, and need to know it.
But if you think it is not useful to have it on savannah, it isn't a problem
to me.

Regards.
