I'm also accepting patches if improvements are made. ;-)

This is quite the handy utility (says a developer who frequently has to
test on a multitude of platforms).
It could be quite helpful to the OS_Detect framework.

May I suggest considering the use of "whatami" for determining
platform? It is tool that was developed as a simple cross platform
utility for just this purpose, and is in wide use on the TeraGrid and
elsewhere.

In the distroname subroutine, there is code to translate distro names
- is this really necessary? Shouldn't this information come straight
from the OS_Detect framework?
I am attaching the relevant code snippet here:
sub distroname {
my ($name, $ver);
# override distro detection
if ($options{distro}) {
($name, $ver) = split /-/, $options{distro};
} else {
$name = $os->{linux_distro};
$ver = $os->{linux_distro_version};
# translate distro names
if ($name eq "redhat-el-as" || $name eq "redhat-el-es" ||
$name eq "redh
at-el-ws") {
$name = "rhel";
} elsif ($name eq "fedora") {
$name = "fc";
} elsif ($name eq "mandrake") {
$name = "mdk";
}
}
return ($name,$ver);
}
Cheers,
Bernard
