Good day, folks. I am writing today because I am trying to install from source a piece of software called ROS, the Robot Operating System. (not an OS, just software) I am having some difficulty with it because their os_detect.py script they use in initialization of the source environment has a rather outdated idea of where openSUSE keeps its system information files. It thinks the brand file is /etc/SuSE-brand, and fair enough, but it’s /etc/SUSE-brand. I fixed that in their code. The thing that’s causing the issue, and I’ve followed the stack trace back to here, is that they are looking for a release file called /etc/SuSE-release. I changed that name to be the same as the current brand file in hopes that it would find something and not crash, but no dice. I can’t find any SUSE-release file on my system, just a folder filled with release licenses or some such. What have we changed our release info file to?
Also the script appears to be looking for this version’s “CODENAME,” and I don’t know where to find that. It should be in the SUSE-release file I suppose.
As much as I would love to use a different suite of robotics software, this is the one that I need to use for research at my university. I appreciate you guys letting me know where the files are, I’ll check back here regularly and post more if I have more questions or if I find a solution.
