Ethan -- did we ever reply to Brian about this?
Do you have any thoughts on the issue?

Well, we don't want to be changing the results that folks are already
relying on, but it looks like we are.
The benefit in putting the lsb test at the top is that most new and
future distros can be identified by that.
But, it looks like the safest thing to do is to put it at the bottom.
Unfortunately, that means that we have to run through all the other
tests, which will not match, for all future distros. Maybe it happens
so fast, even with the extra tests, that it's not worth worrying
about.
Options:
a) Just put the lsb tests at the end (more computer effort over time)
b) Put the lsb tests in the middle, after distro tests that are
already defined, but that we know also have lsb info (more people
effort)
c) I don't think leaving as is is an option, because if someone
updates to the latest version of whatami, it may break existing tests
they depend on.
I'm leaning towards a).
Thoughts?

Thanks Brian. Ethan -- if it works for you, can you pull down a
new
version and commit to MTT's SVN?
Done.
I get "linux-RedHatEnterpriseServer_5-ia32", instead of
"linux-rhel5-ia32" now. I guess I sort of prefer the short
version. Oh well.

forwarded.
Try this.

I'm getting a syntax error:
$ whatami
whatami: syntax error at line 149: `DISTRIB_ID=$' unexpected
Not sure if I'm doing a bad copy/paste out of my mail
client. Jeff, can you send the new whatami script as an
attachment?
