I've noticed that, for Debian stable, /etc/debian_version contains a numeric value, such as 12.7. On testing, because there is no numeric version number still determined, it contains trixie/sid.

I'm not sure it's a good idea to default to using code names instead of code names all over. It may be a requirement for testing, but, numeric has advantages such as being able to do comparisons. Or maybe I'm just not aware that Debian mostly disregards numeric versions.

My perception is that the best solution would be one where numeric values are given if available, and if not, code names as used as fallbacks.

@clebergnu - you are correct here, we can indeed verify if we have /sid in /etc/debian_version or a float value to be able to do the comparison values here.

I need some guidance to achieve this since I don't want to break other things and have a predictable behaviour, or at least you know about it :-)

In your opinion, how do you see this being achieved so that we don't break other things in avocado? Would it be ok to just retrieve the string "sid" OR the full float (example in debian11 11.11 and debian12 12.7) by using an OR on the regex, which would mean we would either return a string or a float. I can verify that on the unit tests we retrieve either of them accordingly, but down the line I am not sure if you want to deal with it like that or other way.

An example of the regex I am thinking on having here

((.+)/(.+)|(\d+.\d+)) - would this approach be ok with you?

My concern is that we are either returning a string or a float here.

quick update that I have tried the above regexp I have proposed, and the unit tests below get in a stuck state, not able to further debug, not sure why, but seems that the solution of "ORing" in a regexp is not a good one.
