Re: Determine Distro?
2008/11/1 Dale Maggee [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, Does anyone know a way to determine which distro I have on my freerunner from the command line? As a rule, it's more robust to detect the particular thing (library, application, header file etc.) that you're interested in, rather than detecting the distro and mapping from distro to what you expect it to contain. I'm looking into adding the ability for NeoTool to import and export contacts, but to do that I'd need a way to determine whether the user has 2007.2, Qtopia, 2008.x, or FSO installed. So you could look for the particular file names that each distro uses?

Determine Distro?

I was thinking that one thing I could do would be 'which addressbook' to find Qtopia / 2008.x, but does anybody have a better suggestion?

cat /etc/om-version will tell you which branch of code you're running
(eg org.openmoko.asu.stable {200?.? FDOM} or fso / shr - qtopia
probably also has one of these?

thanks, but there's no /etc/om-version in 2007.2...
