Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

This package detects other OSes available on a system and outputs the results in a generic machine-readable format. Support for new OSes and Linux distributions can be added easily.

Packages by operating system

Mapping provenance

Only source-backed identity signals create public cross-OS links. A reviewer can later approve or dispute an inferred relationship without rewriting native package history.

No field-level source record is published yet.
