/etc/rpc-release should have a linefeed at the end of the file

[claco]

Says who?

[breu]

says me

[claco]

No other distro release files do... hence why it does not.

[breu]

/etc/redhat-release doesn't?

[claco]

/etc/lsb-release /etc/os-release do not.

[breu]

@claco ummm - it does too.

[claco]

sure does not on my 12.04 install.

Then it's a problem with https://github.com/rcbops-cookbooks/osops-utils/blob/master/recipes/version.rb#L22

We most certainly don't want a newline.

[breu]

0x0a is your linefeed. That is present in the files you references, but not /etc/rpc-release

[breu]

edited title so it reflects a linefeed instead of a newline

[breu]

here is a proposed solution: https://github.com/rackerjoe/rcbops-osops-utils/commit/5e844726286648ba26ce4cd002f45c31be6a0e8d
