Description Paul Eggleton 2013-04-12 09:43:55 UTC 
I suspect we are still unable to detect other distributions with our distro ID code (in meta/lib/oe/lsb.py). Given that we now print the NATIVELSBSTRING upon starting the build, and this is meant to be useful for support purposes, it would be nice if it was able to show a value on other host distributions even if we don't directly support them (e.g. Gentoo, Arch).
