Good afternoon!
I was poking around in BookwormPup64 10.0.6 today and I came across what may be a discrepancy. Screen shot is attached. In most places the version number is shown as 10.0.6, but in System Information, it's showing as 10.0.5.
Have a great day!
Hi @MikeLvG.
The Hardinfo application is pulling the version number from the text file /usr/lib/os-release
rather than the more usual /etc/DISTRO_SPECS file.
It may be that there are some other debian based applications that also check os-release which contains 4 references
to the earlier 10.0.5 version. It looks to me like a simple oversight to change that file when 10.0.6 was built.
I would suggest that you edit os-release so that it reads as follows:
NAME=Puppy
VERSION="10.0.6"
ID=debian
VERSION_ID=10.0.6
PRETTY_NAME="BookwormPup64 10.0.6"
ANSI_COLOR="0;34"
CPE_NAME="cpe:/o:puppy:puppy_linux:10.0.6"
HOME_URL="http://puppylinux.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/index.php"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://github.com/puppylinux-woof-CE/woof-CE"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
The above works for me with no unintended consequences so far.
