You talk about <prefix>/etc/openpkg/platform, I guess. This is a
generated file just to make RPM happy. The "any" is inserted as
OpenPKG itself doesn't use the practically-useless vendor part in its
identifiers.
OK, so it doesn't really matter then. I was also
a bit confused here about what it reports and what
target it uses for cross-compiling, as this varies...
For instance: my Fedora box says "i686-pc-linux-gnu"
in configure, but uses "i386-redhat-linux" for GCC.
So if the Mac OS X box says "i386-any-darwin8.9.1" and
uses "i686-apple-darwin8" for GCC maybe it's similar ?
So it is normally truncated after first period.
I think truncating to two digits is fine, but just one digit is a
little
bit extreme, isn't it?
Depends on how close you want to track the OS,
and what significance the kernel version plays ?
But at least truncating the last digit of Darwin
Kernel should probably be done, in either case.
It _CAN_ be done. See the "openpkg" package and its file "shtool".
There
look for the block entitled with "Apple MacOS X Darwin". This is how
the
information is determined. See e.g. the Linux part a few lines above on
how one can do more here, including truncating the version. I've now
at least added the truncation part. What would be cool is if you can
extend it to especially provide a Darwin to MacOS mapping. The system
technology (ST) should be "Apple Darwin 8.x" while the system product
(SP) should be the corresponding "Apple Mac OS X 10.4.x". I appended
you
a snapshot of the latest GNU shtool where I tried to improve the Darwin
/ Mac OS X detection. Can you run this on as much different Mac OS X
boxes you have available and show me the output of "./shtool platform
--type=all-in-one" on all those boxes? If it looks reasonable I can
take
over this change into GNU shtool and then also into OpenPKG. In case
the
script doesn't what it should, please see the Mac OS X related code at
line 2957 and following.
Ignoring OpenDarwin and any non-Mac OS X Darwin,
your shtool output for current releases seems OK:

Not sure about if the "system class" mapping is 100%,
but it's in the right ballpark (BSD) so that's OK...
For ultimate correctness we might even want to consider
parse /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist:
