It's complex, it requires some regex magic, but I don't understand
why you set uname as an example. I find these more useful:<br>
<br>
OpenWRT:<br>
<br>
cat /etc/openwrt_release + some regex magic<br>
cat /etc/openwrt_version<br>
<br>
AirOS:<br>
<br>
cat /etc/version (major release)<br>
cat /lib/version (build number string)<br>
<br>
Sorry, I don't know regex enough to extract the versioning but it
should be trivial for someone who knows his/her way.<br>
<br>
As for the usefulness, I agree with what Clauz said, I believe It's
compelling enough as a use case.<br>
It also makes easier to identify which devices needs updating should
a major security vulnerability arise.<br>
