Re: [Libguestfs] [PATCH libguestfs] build: When parsing distro from /etc/os-release, try $ID_LIKE first

The current code for working out the distro uses the ID entry from /etc/os-release, and then we map those strings into a smaller set of values (basically, what package manager to use). However it was suggested that we should try ID_LIKE first so that distros which act like other distros would work. On an Arch Linux 32 system: ID=arch32 ID_LIKE=arch See-also: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/issues/81 Thanks: S D Rausty --- m4/guestfs-appliance.m4 | 14 +++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)
