Hi Keisuke,

Thanks for this report !

Usually, our bug reports are filed at https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/ (and in this case it would be triaged onto https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/-/issues )

The behavior you have is indeed a shortcoming of our script, as it could be able to pick up the fact that you have a derivative of ubuntu (The os-release file content is documented at https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html )

You're encouraged to do any of the following (ideally, all of it ;) ) :

- Open a bug report on gitlab for your problem

- fork the inkscape-ci-docker project

- fix your problem by changing the line checking $ID equalities to put a line checking if either ID equals something, or ID_LIKE contains that (as ID_LIKE can contain several strings)

- Propose a merge request to add the change :)

If you have any problem with those, feel free to ask for more info here or on IRC or on chat.inkscape.org :)

Best,

--

Marc

Hi everyone,

My name is Keisuke Suzuki and I'm a senior student studying computer science.

I had a problem with installing dependencies using the script from the getting started page. I am using a distribution called Elementary OS which is one of the derived distribution from Ubuntu. When I run the set of commands from the page,

wget -v https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-ci-docker/raw/master/install_dependencies.sh -O install_dependencies.sh

bash install_dependencies.sh --recommended

the output says,

and the content of my /etc/os-release is:

NAME="elementary OS"

VERSION="5.1.2 Hera"

ID=elementary

ID_LIKE=ubuntu

PRETTY_NAME="elementary OS 5.1.2 Hera"

LOGO=distributor-logo

VERSION_ID="5.1.2"

HOME_URL="https://elementary.io/"

SUPPORT_URL="https://elementary.io/support"

BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/elementary/os/issues/new"

PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://elementary.io/privacy-policy"

VERSION_CODENAME=hera

UBUNTU_CODENAME=bionic

I was able to build and run the project by changing the ID to "ubuntu"; however, the script says it supports Ubuntu and derived distributions, and it's not working on a derived distro from Ubuntu. I think it could happen to some distributions that don't have ID values set to the distribution they are derived from.

I am new to Inkscape, and open-source projects in general. I am sorry if I am making a pointless report.

Best regards,

Keisuke
