  1. 2/ the rule that the oldest code, most directly translated from /#gawk to , is almost always the worst and most problematic, continues to hold true. The more direct the original translation the worse it usually is.

    now shows package manager / repo data, the distro ID works, though required yet another custom made distro ID generator hack; ALT ID is slightly wrong, but that's because they did the /etc/os-release file wrong, which is also sadly common.

  2. 2/ the fact that the oldest #inxi code, most directly translated from #bash/#gawk to #perl, is almost always the worst and most problematic, continues to hold true. The more direct the original translation the worse it usually is.

    #Salix now shows #tazpkg package manager / reoi datam, the distro ID works, though required yet another custom made distro ID generator hack; ALT #sysyphus ID is slightly wrong, but that's because they did the /etc/os-release file wrong, which is also sadly common.

  3. Adding / support for , and it's package manager / repos . This also exposed a significant bug with init detections on based distros, which made it hang when detecting the init system due to way too lose tests. Now correctly gets init as BusyBox and version too. Also added in corrected slitaz distro ID.

    this is turning into yet another really big inxi release, but waiting is proving to be productive in terms of features.

    Finished TinyX detections as well.
