Haven't reproduced it locally in a test environment, but I know that

I've seen that show un on a bunch of my nodes.

can any chef devs tell me what the purpose is of the node[:platform?]

attribute is?

I have just started seeing it after upgrading from 0.10.8 to 10.12.0. The

strange part is that my RHEL 6.2 boxes report "ubuntu" for that value if I

have the PHP cookbook in my

run_list https://github.com/opscode-cookbooks/php . w/out the PHP cookbook

in the run_list, platform? holds the array [ "redhat", "fedora", "centos" ]

Bizarre!

I have dug into the PHP cookbook and its dependencies and cannot find any

statement that equates to  `node[:platform?] = "ubuntu" `, whether for the

default, normal, or override attributes.

I also have dug into the chef code and haven't found the platform? method

that this attribute corresponds to.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
