185066 - The OS "BSDI" should be "BSD/OS"...

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Installation & Upgrading, defect)

Description

[Chris P. Ross]

The operating system known as BSD/OS (formerly released by a company named BSDi)
has been named BSD/386, BSDi, but since 1995 has been named BSD/OS.  As the
company behind BSD/OS is no longer even BSDi, I think the historical use of this
name for this operating system is wholly inappropriate.
Please change this field in the OS pull-down menu to be "BSD/OS" instead of "BSDI".
Thank you.

Moving to installation (this is one of the defaults in checksetup.pl when you do
a new install).

If you want this fixed on bugzilla.mozilla.org, please file a new bug in the
mozilla.org product.  This is a configuration default only that we can fix from
here and will have no effect on existing installations, so someone at
mozilla.org will have to manually change it in their config file.

Attachment: Patch

I have no real knowledge about the official convention of BSDI vs BSD/OS
(though a rough google search appears to confirm that we want to make this
change), but here's a simple patch to fix.
