[chef] Re: Re: platform_version for debian wheezy

Yeah, I suspected that might be true. Since wheezy isn't released yet they could either use the release number it will have, or use something else. Using the official release number is bad because then when people have bugs after release you can't easily discern if their installation is pre or post release.

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
