OS Info database
Operating system specific information is provided by the OS Info Database
(osinfo-db
) library. The OS Info Database provided by your package
manager may be out of date and not provide definitions for recent operating
system versions.
If you have already updated your system, and the osinfo-db is still to old,
then you can use the osinfo-db-import
tool with the --local
option to
install an up-to-date database in your home directory which will not conflict
with your package manager installation. The osinfo-db-import
tool is
provided by the package name osinfo-db-tools
on yum
and apt
managed systems.
Example:
$ wget https://releases.pagure.org/libosinfo/osinfo-db-<VERSION>.tar.xz
$ sudo osinfo-db-import --local osinfo-db-<VERSION>.tar.xz
