I am curious if my /etc/os-release is odd:
# VERSION="20160913" ID=opensuse ID_LIKE="suse" VERSION_ID="20160913" PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed" ANSI_COLOR="0;32" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:tumbleweed:20160913" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.opensuse.org" HOME_URL="https://www.opensuse.org/"
Should the VERSION line be commented as shown above? Or has something odd happened to my file?
That's correct...
VERSION is added merely for 'your reference' but not used to interpret by tools (hence commented)
I'm assuming though this commented field has been causing GRUB menus (e.g. on ARM) to display "openSUSE Tumbleweed , "? Note the space before the comma for lack of version.
yes, that's right - but it's better than having the '20160921' string in the grub menu (and 'Tumbleweed' as VERSION was set before, was technically wrong and we had bug reports about that) as for the grub menu, this follow up bug is tracked in https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=995549 Cheers, Dominique
