[11:17] <aquarius> james_w, jml, do you guys know about quickly?
=== tsimpson_ is now known as tsimpson
[17:20] <james_w> aquarius, not much
[18:35] <aquarius> :0
[19:25] <aquarius> any idea how one should programmatically get the current Ubuntu version number?
[19:25] <aquarius> shelling out to lsb_release seems a bit clunky ;)
[19:25] <aquarius> ooh, lsb_release is python!
[20:39] <JanC> aquarius: calling lsb_release is the "correct" way AFAIK and I would suggest you don't depend on it being in Python
[20:40] <aquarius> JanC, fair comment
[20:44] <JanC> the version is also available in /etc/issue & /etc/issue.net (but again, I have no idea if this is just customary or supposed to be "standardized", while LSB *is* an industry standard)
