I actually posted a lengthy explanation of this when we first
introduced it into the tree. Specifically, we bashed out the specifics
of the OCA and the OS_Detect framework at the OSCAR Symposium in
Canada, but ran out of time before doing heavy integration. It's still
an active to-do item for someone to integrate using OS_Detect
throughout the OSCAR code base...
Troll through the mail archives to find that prior mail from me.
The idea is that the OS_Detect framework will have only components for
the systems we support. Hence, if OS_Detect fails, your system is not
supported.
I saw that the framework is tied to the master. Well, hmmm, it would
me VERY
usefull if one could apply this to an image and find out what distro it
contains. In the long term I'd expect images to have different distros
than
the master. Would be nice to have OS_Detect prepared for that.
Sure, that would be a useful extension. Suggestions?
