January 29, 201412 yr How can I reliably find the Slackware version for an unRAID instance? 6.0 includes `/etc/slackware-version`, but <6.0 does not. Is there any where to do a cross comparison from the kernel version or anything?
January 30, 201412 yr Author Oh is /etc/slackware-version new in 5.0.5? I don' think it exists in 5.0.4.
January 30, 201412 yr Author I'm running 5.0.4 and I can confirm it is there. Ah! You're right. Definitely not present in 5.0.2 though.
January 30, 201412 yr I'm running 5.0.4 and I can confirm it is there. Ah! You're right. Definitely not present in 5.0.2 though. But you can safely assume that unRAID v5.0.x uses slackware 13.1 (it was also mentioned by Tom here on the forum).
January 30, 201412 yr Author I'm reading from /etc/slackware-version if available and falling back to 13.1 if it isn't. Thanks for your help guys!
January 30, 201412 yr I think we should add a unraid-release to the build script rather than rely on the kernel. This way you can be completely specific and its not that big a deal to request. It is bhow everyone else does it for a reason... cat /etc/openelec-release OpenELEC (unofficial) - Version: 3.2.4 cat /etc/version 3.2.4 details can be ironed out but IMO lets do this right.

That would be awesome. This would allow packages to target unraid versions automatically. For the problem I was tackling, I needed to know the slackware version in order to know if a specific SW package was from that version.
