[chef] Re: platform_version for debian wheezy

[Steffen Gebert < >]

Hi Bryan,

thanks for your response!

Maybe it isn't a bug.. 

squeeze$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.5 (squeeze)
Release:        6.0.5
Codename:       squeeze

but

wheezy$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Debian
Description:    Debian GNU/Linux testing (wheezy)
Release:        testing
Codename:       wheezy

So it's probably hard for ohai to figure out the version number, as it hasn't 
a version number, yet ^^

I guess I will go for matching the codename (node[:lsb][:codename]).

Thanks
Steffen
