Rake fails with undefined method '[]' for nil:NilClass #30

Closed wulftone closed 12 years ago

I tried running through the README.md and got stalled at "Just run rake": rake

~/build-couchdb $ rake --trace
rake aborted!

It appears to be unable to detect my distro (LinuxMint 11). The detect_distro() function might be better served raising an error if it can't detect a distro...?

I do have the lsb-release file:

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=11
DISTRIB_CODENAME=katya
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 11 Katya"

Updating distros.rb now.... will report back with a pull if it works
