idaes get-extensions: All unidentified Linux distributions default to Ubuntu?

[mrmundt]

Hello, lovely IDAES folks!

We have a new performance machine that runs on RHEL9, and RHEL9 binaries are not currently being released. No problem - it is what it is.

However, the default version pulled is ubuntu2204. It seems more logical that it should instead pull the most recent RHEL distribution (in this case, RHEL8).

Here is the output for your perusal:

This appears to be hard-coded in idaes.config, I'll open a PR

@mrmundt Would you be able to try if #1457 works (i.e. results in the RHEL8 binaries being installed by default) on your machine? The following should install IDAES directly from that PR's branch:

pip install "git+https://github.com/IDAES/idaes-pse@refs/pull/1457/merge"
idaes get-extensions --verbose

So should the behavior be that it should fail if the platform is unknown (with a helpful message as to what to do)?

@mrmundt volunteered do to this!
