[OSGeoLive] OSGeoLive Environment Variable

[Johan Van de Wauw]

If you add a script to /etc/profile.d/ it will be sourced to all
interactive users.
I would use the version number, this version number is available while
building the image ($VERSION).
adding
echo "export OSGEOLIVE=$VERSION">/etc/profile.d/osgeolive.sh should do the
trick.
