[Bug 597337] Re: lsb_release should show history of release upgrades
I don't mind what tool does the job. It would simply be very useful to be able to quickly determine the upgrade history of an installation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597337 Title: lsb_release should show history of release upgrades To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsb/+bug/597337/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 597337] Re: lsb_release should show history of release upgrades
I don't think it's lsb_release's job to provide that type of information. lsb_release is supposed to be a distro-agnostic interface to query what Linux distribution a program is on, not a distro-specific history-grabbing tool. Actually, I think it would be easier for another non-lsb_release (probably distro-specific) tool to do the job. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597337 Title: lsb_release should show history of release upgrades To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lsb/+bug/597337/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This can be very useful in a technical support context where the history of a machine is very valuable even if there are no corresponding logs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597337 Title: lsb_release should show history of release upgrades -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 597337] Re: lsb_release should show history of release upgrades
I'm not sure how useful this would actually be. In practice, to diagnose bugs that depend on details of upgrade ordering, you generally need /var/log/dpkg.log and/or /var/log/apt/term.log instead; a summary like this would not be very useful for that, and I can't think of any other uses for it. ** Changed in: lsb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597337 Title: lsb_release should show history of release upgrades -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
