Already mentioned this to Chris, but this may have broken SUSE builds on the Lustre Buildbot.

I don't think so. I think that this is a problem in the buildbot configuration. I will open a github ticket shortly.

Already mentioned this to Chris, but this may have broken SUSE builds on the Lustre Buildbot. The error I'm seeing on builds is "error: line 86: Empty tag: Release:". Example log is here.

Yeah more simplification. Debian platforms are back in business. Thanks Chris.

Thanks for the legwork on that, James!

We don't even need sed any more; I'll just use tr.
