Public bug reported:
Trying to detect platform (OS) name and version on Ubuntu Touch 15.04
based phones and tablets using QML. On the Ubuntu Desktop QSysInfo
provides the following _correct_ values:
QSysInfo::productType(): "ubuntu"
QSysInfo::productVersion(): "16.04"
QSysInfo::prettyProductName(): "Ubuntu 16.04 LTS"
However, in a confined environment (e.g. bq Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Edition
/ 15.04 OTA-11) the following _incorrect_ values are provided by
QSysInfo:
QSysInfo::productType(): "unknown"
QSysInfo::productVersion(): "unknown"
QSysInfo::prettyProductName(): "Linux 3.4.67"
I suppose it's because QSysInfo tries to (or would need to) access such
files on the filesystem that are blocked by AppArmor, like /etc/os-
release or such.
Ideally, QSysInfo::productVersion() should return not only "15.04" on an
Ubuntu Touch device, but also the OTA release number. So it should be
more like: "15.04 OTA-11". That's because "15.04" alone doesn't tell
much about the actual Ubuntu Touch OS release installed on a mobile
device.
