REMARK: This is a nighlty build with some minor issues, the final is following within a these days.

The ‘platformids‘ package provides the categorization and enumeration of OS platforms anddistributions.

This enables the development of portable generic code for arbitrary platforms in IT andIoT landscapes consisting of heterogeneous physical and virtual runtime environments.

The introduced hierarchical bitmask vectors enable for fast and efficient platform specificcode and data selection for OS and distributions with routines for specific platform releases.

The supported version numbering comprise various release schemes such as classicalversion numbers with variable segments and optional release names,
