Subject: lsb.py: strip ' from os-release file
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=55f82653deb1ea8f1304fcba4d588bd55695b616;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core.git

lsb.py: strip ' from os-release file

In gentoo the file looks like this:

NAME='Gentoo'
ID='gentoo'
PRETTY_NAME='Gentoo Linux'
VERSION='2.18'
VERSION_ID='2.18'
HOME_URL='https://www.gentoo.org/'
SUPPORT_URL='https://www.gentoo.org/support/'
BUG_REPORT_URL='https://bugs.gentoo.org/'
ANSI_COLOR='1;32'

' were added with:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/2f590e35c9d3d13d5673163527120b2de97fdc80

before that the os-release file looked like this:

NAME=Gentoo
ID=gentoo
PRETTY_NAME="Gentoo Linux"
ANSI_COLOR="1;32"
HOME_URL="https://www.gentoo.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.gentoo.org/support/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.gentoo.org/"
VERSION_ID="2.18"

The ' is stripped from the ID later in distro_identifier with:
    # Filter out any non-alphanumerics and convert to lowercase
    distro_id = re.sub(r'\W', '', distro_id).lower()
but not from version which results in a weird NATIVELSBSTRING like:
    NATIVELSBSTRING      = "gentoo-'2.18'"

And similarly the directory name in sstate-cache:

oe-core $ ls -d sstate-cache/gentoo-*
"sstate-cache/gentoo-'2.18'"   sstate-cache/gentoo-2.18
