man page gives incorrect default pastebin (should mention distro specific defaults)

[Scott Kitterman]

Binary package hint: pastebinit

man pastebinit says -b [pastebin url] (default: http://pastebin.com). The default is acutally paste.ubuntu.com.

Well, actually the default upstream pastebin is pastebin.com.
It's overriden for some distros based on LSB information.

defaultPB = "http://pastebin.com" #Default pastebin
try:
    import lsb_release
    release = lsb_release.get_distro_information()['ID'].lower()
    if release == 'debian':
        defaultPB = "http://paste.debian.net"
    elif release == 'fedora':
        defaultPB = "http://fpaste.org"
    elif release == 'ubuntu':
        defaultPB = "http://paste.ubuntu.com"
except ImportError:
    pass

Still worth mentioning in the manpage though.

I've fixed this in upstream revision 124. Should be available in the next upstream release.
