The os table of the rd_releasemgr database contains a list of all operation system and compiler combinations that the various software packages can be built on. It contains the following columns for each entry:

osID - the ID used to identify the OS in the various other tables
osName - the long form of the name. It is used in displays and when invoking the triggerBuild and deleteBuild programs and is supplied as an argument to the --os option
osType - the os type (i.e. Linux, Windows, or Mac)
nickname - a short form of the OS for use in displays with limited space. Primarily used on the RM webpages
active - a flag to indicate whether or not the OS is currently being built. As older OSes are deprecated, this is set to false so that they are not displayed.

The current (as of July 2013) contents of this table are:

osId	osName	osType	nickname	active
1	redhat4-i686-32bit-gcc34	Linux	rh4-32	true
2	redhat4-x86_64-64bit-gcc34	Linux	rh4-64	true
3	Windows-i386-32bit-vc71	Windows	vc71-32	true
4	redhat5-i686-32bit-gcc41	Linux	rh5-32	true
5	redhat3-i686-32bit-gcc32	Linux	rh3-32	false
6	tiger-i386-32bit-gcc40	Mac	tiger-32	false
7	redhat5-x86_64-64bit-gcc41	Linux	rh5-64	true
8	Windows-i386-32bit-vc90	Windows	vc90-32	true
9	snowleopard-i386-32bit-gcc42	Mac	snowl-32	true
10	redhat6-x86_64-64bit-gcc44	Linux	rh6-64	true

When a new OS/compiler combination is added to the RM an entry must be made in this table in order for the RM to build for the new OS.
