--- Begin Message ---Package: os-prober Version: 1.65 Severity: normal Tags: patch Dear Maintainer, os-prober correctly detects Fedora 22, however it doesn't detect Void Linux or NixOS (they are reported as unknown Linux distribution).

Note that this introduces a dependency on dmsetup on Linux architectures. * Remove the "blockdev --setro" code path entirely, since the read-only device-mapper arrangement supersedes it and should be safer (closes: #648208). * Make os-prober-udeb depend on grub-mount-udeb on all Linux and kFreeBSD architectures, now that it's available on them all (thanks, James Cowgill; closes: #776275). * Make os-prober depend on grub-common on Linux and kFreeBSD, in order that grub-mount is consistently available. * Fix detection of /usr/ partition as a GNU/Linux root partition when /lib* directories are moved to /usr/ completely (thanks, Hedayat Vatankhah; closes: #698733). * Make the yaboot parser more tolerant about the syntax of "append" options (thanks, Hedayat Vatankhah; closes: #674561). * Disable debugging if OS_PROBER_DISABLE_DEBUG is set (thanks, Hedayat Vatankhah; closes: #698598). * Replace basename/dirname with shell string processing (thanks, Hedayat Vatankhah; part of #694668). * Call dmraid only once (thanks, Jeff Mahoney). * Fix typos in README (thanks, Nyav; closes: #803155). * Add os-release support (based loosely on a patch by Török Edwin; closes: #794409). * Add Devuan detection (thanks, David Hare; closes: #801631). * Work harder to avoid trying to mount extended partitions (thanks, Philippe Coval; closes: #784709). * Drop " (loader)" suffixes on Microsoft operating systems (thanks, Chris Lamb; closes: #787418).
