> First distro-release is in some kind of "schizophrenia", one one hand it is

> /etc/os-release
> This one is used by varius software to identify product, for now it is full of

>
> OpenMandriva Lx lx3
> OpenMandriva Lx 3.0
> OpenMandriva Lx 2015.0
>
> /etc/product.id is used by urpmi to resolve repositories, in this case this is
> broken, and user will not recieve any updates, not to mention that someone
> forgot about http://downloads.openmandriva.org/mirrors/ :)
>
> Not to mention that files are called foo-1.2-omv2015.0.x86_64.rpm
>
> I have twosuggestions how to fix it:
>
> 1. Rename to "3.0"
>
> Pros:
> one consistent version everywhere
> no schizophrenia
>
> Cons:
> effort on rename github branches form lx3 to 3.0
> effort and lot of time - rebuild all packages to get rid o 2015.0 and to
> welcome 3.0 distepoch
> patch rpm to recognize distepoch 3.0 as higher than 2015.0, 2014.0, 2013.0,
> 2011.0 etc.
>
> 2. Hardcode "lx3" where is is possible - distro-release, urpmi, omdv-build-
> iso
>
> Pros:
> easy to do
> small effort
>
> Cons:
> ugly
> still does not resolve lx3, 3.0, 2015.0 versioning mess

> Any thoughts on this ?
