Title:
Consumes too many resources detecting OS vendor and version
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Jockey calls lsb_release on startup to identify the OS vendor and
version that it is running on. This is prohibitively expensive.
This is a jockey bug because the package itself could have that
information hard-coded, it does not need to be dynamic. There's no
resume to presume that the machine will change from Ubuntu to
Slackware overnight, and any version update would assumedly also be
accompanied by a jockey update.
I appreciate you might be unhappy hardcoding it, but you do need to
find a cheaper way than spawning lsb_release!
