SL release number
Hi, I have installed SL 5.2 a couple of years ago and since then my system is always up to date. I also have the latest kernel (2.6.18-194.8.1.el5). The question is: Why does the release still show up as 5.2 (and not 5.5)? # lsb_release -id Distributor ID: ScientificSL Description:Scientific Linux SL release 5.2 (Boron) Thanks, Michele

By the way I remember there is a yum-conf-5x to stay with the
latest release (I used it for 4x) but I don't remeber how to
install it.
I tried with yum and rpm without success :
jones:{root}:/etc > yum install yum-conf-5x
...
Transaction Check Error:
file /etc/yum.conf from install of yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch conflicts
with file from package yum-conf-54-1.SL.noarch
jones:{root}:/etc > rpm -Uvh
/var/cache/yum/sl-base/packages/yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch.rpm
...
file /etc/yum.conf from install of yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch conflicts
with file from package yum-conf-54-1.SL.noarch
Shall I remove yum-conf first ?
Thanks for your help.

Re: SL release number
Hello,
As for the origianl question, lsb_release takes the version from
/etc/redhat-release, which is provided by package sl-release
(version 5.5 for SL 5.5).
To see its info
rpm -qf /etc/redhat-release -i
Best regards,
Gregory
