[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed distro date
When I report a bug in KDE using DrKonqi, it inserts the following information at the top of the bug report: Distribution: "openSUSE Tumbleweed (20160117) (x86_64)" Where is this date (2016-01-17) taken from, and what does it mean? (Note that I’m using the latest release of Tumbleweed, *not* one from January 2016.) -- Karl Ove Hufthammer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Hmm, are you sure? /etc/os-release is being updated whenever there is a new TW snapshot right? But 2016-01-17 is quite old so I believe it may be coming from the lsb_release -r output instead (which AFAIK is uses /etc/lsb-release) which on my TW is built on the 19th of Jan 2016 -- markos SUSE LINUX GmbH | GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409, Nürnberg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Does it mean after installation of newer TW snapshot lsb_release becomes useless? Isn't it a bug? -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux https://www.opensuse.org/ https://trapa.cz/

Is KDE/DrKonqi really extracting info from /etc/lsb-release?

It's created during build. So as long as there's no full rebuild it won't update. Does /etc/lsb-release need to exist anyways? If not the lsb_release command could just parse /etc/os-release instead. If /etc/lsb-release is really needed as file it should probably point to somewhere in /var instead where a trigger on openSUSE-release could update it. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.com/ SUSE Linux GmbH, GF: Felix Imendörffer, Jane Smithard, Graham Norton, HRB 21284 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Ludwig corrected me that this file is created during package build, not package install. So if this package was rebuilt, this is expected.
