< superm1_> laga, i think we'll need two specs written on it
< superm1_> well three actually
< superm1_> one for the plugin
< superm1_> one for the installer part of the plugin
< superm1_> and one for the mcc part of it

< jams> oh..just so you know, the plugin stores the uuid in the settings table of the DB

Mental note: turn this into a blueprint.

Unfortunately, this project is very very redhat centric.

Here's a snippet from client/software.py:

def read_os():
    try:
        return file('/etc/redhat-release').read().strip()
    except IOError:
        try:
            return file('/etc/SuSE-release').read().split('\n')[0].strip()
        except IOError:
            return 'Unknown'

Until things like this are cleaned up, don't expect it to show up in Ubuntu.

See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/310975 for the same feature request on Ubuntu.

It can't be that "Redhat centric", as Suse uses Smolt, too, and Ubuntu and Debian had a working package at least for some time.

Debian is considering packaging it too: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=435058

And it looks like it is being considered seriously for Karmic Koala: http://www.jeffanderson.us/karmic-koala-blueprints/
