Bug Description
The documentation (doc/data-
\item [OS:] (optional) Name of the operating system. On LSB compliant
systems, this can be determined with \verb!lsb_release -si!.
\item [OSRelease:] (optional) Release version of the operating system. On
LSB compliant systems, this can be determined with \verb!lsb_release -sr!.
But these are not included in bug reports. Instead, the DistroRelease field is included, and its value is constructed from the output of lsb_release -sir in report.py:
def add_os_info(self):
'''Add operating system information.
This adds:
- DistroRelease: lsb_release -sir output
- Architecture: system architecture in distro specific notation
- Uname: uname -srm output
- NonfreeKernelMo
there are none, this field will not be present)
'''
p = subprocess.
u = os.uname()
The documentation should be updated to reflect the use of DistroRelease instead of OS and OSRelease.
