REMARK: This is a nighlty build with some minor issues, the final is following within a these days.

The ‘platformids‘ package provides the categorization and enumeration of OS platforms and distributions.

This enables the development of portable generic code for arbitrary platforms in IT and IoT landscapes consisting of heterogeneous physical and virtual runtime environments.

The introduced hierarchical bitmask vectors enable for fast and efficient platform specific code and data selection for OS and distributions with routines for specific platform releases.

The supported version numbering comprise various release schemes such as classical version numbers with variable segments and optional release names,

AlpineLinux-3.8.1 CentOS-6.10 Debian-9.6 Fedora31 OS-X-10.6.8 Ubuntu-18.04 armbian-5.76 cygwin-2.9.0 opensuse-15.1 opensuse-42.3 raspbian-9.4 slackware-14.2 solaris-11.3

variations of numbering schemes,

CentOS-7.5-1804 CentOS-7.6-1810 NT-6.3.9600 NT-6.1.7601 NT-5.1.2600

as well as various numbering schemes for continuous deployment including the numbering schemes of Windows releases.

archlinux-2018.12.01 kali-linux-2019-W11 kali-linux-2019.1 NT-10.0.1809 NT-10.0.1806
