Hash: SHA1
As far as I know, an existing, abeit old one (LSB 1.1.0).
I'm not an LSB expert, tho. I'm just mentioning this based on my
own systems, where I run Conectiva Linux.
This file is instaled by the package lsb-release, and was included during
the LSB compliance process Conective went through.
Here is the output of this file:
LSB_VERSION="1.1.0"
DISTRIB_ID=Conectiva
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Conectiva Linux"
DISTRIB_RELEASE="9"
On the help file that comes with this package:
If the installation is LSB compliant, the "/etc/lsb-release" file
should contain the LSB_VERSION field. The value of the field should be
the version number of the LSB specification against which the installa-
tion is compliant. If the installation is not compliant, the above
field should not be present.
Optional fields are DISTRIB_ID, DISTRIB_RELEASE, DISTRIB_CODENAME, DIS-
TRIB_DESCRIPTION and can be used to overwrite information which is
parsed from the next file.
There is also a command lsb_release.
