Bug 56263 – Change Uname Call in Emerge Info to Support *BSD

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Daniel Hurt 2004-07-06 11:26:57 UTC]

The call to /bin/uname is not supported on some of the *BSDs.  I wrote a patch that instead uses the platform.uname call in python that is more compatible across platform removing the errors that occur when emerge info is called.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install *BSD according the the gentoo/BSD docs ;-)
2. # emerge info

Actual Results:  
Portage 2.0.49 (unavailable, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.2-r0, 5.2.1-RELEASE)

Just a note, this fix produces the exact same output for emerge info on normal gentoo/linux machines.  I have tested on three of my machines here.
