The question was not rhetorical. What defines a distribution? For fedora right now doesn't that pretty much comes down to checking the fedora-release package version in the installed rpmdb? We aren't going to be doing that sort of thing for slackware-esque or debian-esque or foresight-esque or gentoo-esque distros. We may be able to detect opensuse or other rpm based systems that way...maybe...if the rpm databases are compatible with the rpm we have. -jef -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
