It's used by applications, usually proprietary, that install in accordance with lsb procedures. In my case, I use it in my scripts: echo "`date` $tarball" >> /usr/src/packages-$(lsb_release -r|cut -f2).log This adds date an tarball to a file with a name like /usr/src/packages-SVN-20131116.log Where 'lsb_release -r' is "Release: LFS-SVN-20131116" Most users probably don't need lsb_release, but may want to add it to be completely lsb compliant. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
