RFE: make lbmbuilder accept different releases of Ubuntu

[Adam Dorsey]

Currently the distro for lbmbuilder is hardcoded into URLs in the Python code itself. This is inefficient. A better method would be to allow lbmbuilder to accept a command-line argument that let you specify valid distros (jaunty, hardy, etc.) and it would use that in the URL as a variable to grab what you wanted (similar to the -a flag). Obviously, this should default to the latest version by default (currently Jaunty). This should be trivial to fix and I'll probably end up doing it myself; I just wanted to document it as I went along :)

i noticed this the other day also. Let me know if you are working on this or not. If you are i wont do it. If you aren't I'll do it.

By all means, go ahead. You should be able to look at how the architecture stuff is done to get an idea of how to go about this, although I'd say this will be rather simpler than the architecture stuff was.

Patch attached that accomplishes the requested. Committed to lolucid, will be released with it.
