Description: Linux Standard Base version reporting utility |
251 |
The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) is a standard |

The lsb-release command is a simple tool to help identify the Linux |
|
256 |
distribution being used and its compliance with the Linux Standard Base. |
|
257 |
LSB conformance will not be reported unless the required metapackages are |
|
258 |
installed. |
|
259 |
. |
|
260 |
While it is intended for use by LSB packages, this command may also |
|
261 |
be useful for programmatically distinguishing between a pure Debian |
|
262 |
installation and derived distributions. |

Description: Linux Standard Base sendmail dummy |
|
270 |
The Linux Standard Base (http://www.linuxbase.org/) is a standard |
|
271 |
core system that third-party applications written for Linux can |
|
272 |
depend upon. |
|
273 |
. |
|
274 |
This package contains nothing else than a fake /usr/sbin/sendmail |
|
275 |
command to fulfill the LSB's requirement of providing this command without |
|
276 |
requiring an MTA to get installed, which once introduces a daemon which |
|
277 |
can cause security problems and second, users get asked questions about |
|
278 |
how they want their MTA configured when in reality they simply wanted to |
|
279 |
install a deskltop application or a printer driver, but the dependency on |
|
280 |
LSB compliance pulls in an MTA with the installation. |
|
281 |
. |
|
282 |
The LSB requirement on /usr/sbin/sendmail comes from old times where Linux |
|
283 |
and Unix machines had all fixed IPs and did server tasks in data centers. |
|
284 |
Today's typical desktop Linux machines do not do local e-mail any more as |
|
285 |
users use external e-mail services. |
|
286 |
. |
|
287 |
The /usr/sbin/sendmail always exits with exit status -1 (255) and sends a |
|
288 |
warning message to stderr, so that if a program actually tries to send e-mail |
|
289 |
via the sendmail command the user gets note. |
