| Subject: | Fedora version not returned for recent releases |
Fedora has removed the word "Core" from it's version string, causing
Linux::Distribuion::distribution_version to fail.
The current code does work on FC 6, but definitely fails on FC 14 &
15. I don't know exactly where it broke...
Attached is a patch with the corrected regex to deal with this.
$ uname -a

$ perl -MLinux::Distribution -e'print
Linux::Distribution::distribution_version(),"\n"'

After patch:
$ perl -MLinux::Distribution -e'print
Linux::Distribution::distribution_version(),"\n"'
