Yes indeed it is. This is mostly James's work. I took it over once he
left and I do plan to see it completed.
This also came up on a recent bug [1], where smolt is failing on RHEL5
ppc. I have an almost-complete patch to separate out the meat of the
inventory script into a new package (beaker-inventory?) with a proper
binary (/usr/bin/beaker-inventory?) and making the
/distribution/inventory task just install and run that.
I'm thinking we should go ahead and do that *before* the lshw port of
the script. It should make it easier to experiment with different
versions of the inventory code, by substituting a different build of
beaker-inventory.
I will finish off the patch and put it up as soon as 0.12 development is
out of the way.
