platformids 0.1.39

Description:

platformids 0.1.39

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

The current supported platforms are:
