Re: Updating /etc/debian_version and related files



Hi,

AFAIK, this is what everybody wants.

Agreed.

So I have three proposals, in order of preference:

* The "good": Update the four files at every point release, as in the
first patch. This fixes #621757 and I think it is the logical thing to
do.

* The "ugly": Update only /etc/debian_version, as in squeeze, but fix
the mistake of specifying "7.0" when in fact that will only be true
for Debian 7.0 and not Debian 7.1. This would be the second patch.

We've had a quick chat about this, and our preference would be for the option you've termed "ugly". Now that we've stopped using the three part versioning, it seems more logical for wheezy to be "Debian 7" and for the issue files to reflect that.

Regards,

Adam
