New description:

 When we are producing binaries for sagemath.org the naming scheme is often
 inconsistent and some times even outright misleading.

 On Linux -bdist should produce consistent names for binaries, so use
 lsb_release when available. I.e. on an x86 Fedora Core 9 system a
 {{{
  ./sage -bdist 3.2.1
 }}}
 would yield
 {{{
  sage-3.2.1-Fedora-9-x86.tar.gz
 }}}
 This info can be extracted on Linux via lsb_release
 {{{
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ lsb_release -i -s
 Fedora
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ lsb_release -r -s
 9
 }}}
 On OSX use uname to specify OSX release, CPU architecture and 32 vs. 64
 bit builds.

 On other systems as they become officially supported we should use the
 best local identification tools available or also fall back to uname.

 Cheers,

 Michael
