Hi Folks,

I'm considering Tumbleweed for a customer, but they want to "register" the version number. What version numbering scheme does TW use? What would "/etc/os-release" show? Would it be a static number, or would it change as it "tumbles"?

Thanks, Lew

Isn't that a fool's errand on a rolling release?

Yes, but I need to get started somewhere, and this registry is run by fools anyway. :-)

What is this "register" anyway?, Company inventory or something?

It's sort of like a list of pre-approved of software. It could very well be they won't permit TW and other rolling-release packages. I can get things like "openSUSE 13.x" approved, but maybe not something like "openSUSE x.y".

* Lew Wolfgang <wolfgang@sweet-haven.com> [03-16-16 15:45]: the release number changes with each snapshot release, currently: cat /etc/os-release NAME=openSUSE VERSION="Tumbleweed" VERSION_ID="20160307" PRETTY_NAME="openSUSE Tumbleweed (20160307) (x86_64)" ID=opensuse ANSI_COLOR="0;32" CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:opensuse:opensuse:20160307" BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.opensuse.org" HOME_URL="https://www.opensuse.org/" ID_LIKE="suse"

version would be 20160307 which will change shortly.

Ah, thanks, that's what I need. The version for registration purposes will be "Tumbleweed". I'll see if they let me get away with that. Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
