[PATCH] lib/oe/lsb.py: Stop parsing /etc/SuSE-release

[Ed Bartosh]

/etc/SuSE-release should not be parsed to obtain release info

Here is the quote from /etc/SuSE-release:
/etc/SuSE-release is deprecated and will be removed in the future,
use /etc/os-release instead

All recent OpenSUSE versions already have /etc/os-release and
oe.lsb/release_dict_file function already parses it.

Current implementation of release_dict_file returns different values
when parsing /etc/SuSE-release and /etc/os-release. This is one more
advantage of getting rid of parsing /etc/SuSE-release.

How long ago did OpenSuSE start including /etc/os-release? My concern is if 
someone did happen to run on an older OpenSuSE release and then submit a bug 
report with an attached log, we'd rather see the actual version rather than 
"Unknown". If that's a possible scenario, we might want to just swap the 
blocks around so that /etc/os-release is looked for first.

Cheers,
Paul

I've checked opensuse versions starting from 12.3, which was released 2 years ago and became OOL in Jan 2015. If you think it's not enough I can check 12.2 and 12.1 or swap the blocks as you've suggested.

[PATCH] lib/oe/lsb.py: Prioritize parsing of /etc/os-release

[Ed Bartosh]

Moved parsing of /etc/os-release before parsing of
/etc/SuSE-release as /etc/SuSE-release is deprecated in
recent releases of OpenSuSE.

Here is the quote from /etc/SuSE-release:
/etc/SuSE-release is deprecated and will be removed in the future,
use /etc/os-release instead
