[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
