OS detection: Linux Mint

[josm.sanspourriel]

On https://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Download#Ubuntu, one installation command suggests to use:
lsb_release -sc
However, on Linux Mint 20 it returns ulyana.
This repository doesn't exist.

Several suggestions:

• add a link on the server so that ulyana links to fossa (same for other Linux Mint versions: link to the upstream Ubuntu version
• make it work so that it works in Linux Mint

check if:

$(lsb_release -si) is Linuxmint

then use:

grep DISTRIB_CODENAME= /etc/upstream-release/lsb-release | awk -F = '{print $(2)}'

(it returns focal)

• give a hint on the page how to install on Linux Mint

Except that, it works like a charm. As usual ;-)

Or does it not work?

I missed it as you state:

Alternatively, this can be done with the following one-liner in Ubuntu:

And I'm new to Linux Mint (I'm using usually Debian or Ubuntu), I'm used to see lsb_release -sc working as expected ;-).

It is a wiki. Just enhance it yourself if something is missing or described in a miss-understandable way.

I didn't know it was open to non developers. Done, thanks
