No, I don't think so. As a result of the passage of time, and given that
we're not going to be changing the version number in the About Ubuntu
document, and given that updating a package in Dapper is a non-trivial
exercise, I'm tempted to say that we should probably do nothing about
this bug now.
Do others have strong views?
No
I wonder if this still makes sence.
Since the useres already get used to it! ??
...and given it isn´t a trivial changeat least for dapper.
We should only leave this bug open, if we intend to change anything in
future (read as LTS+1)

As per mdz, perhaps it is better to leave the material unchanged. I'll
close the bug for now.

A problem with changing the version number in the documentation - it
can't be done in translations, because the entities we use to substitute
the version number are expanded into the translated xml.
I've started a discussion on the doc list about how to fix this for Edgy
[1], but for now the
I can't think of a way that the About Ubuntu document automatically
relies on lsb_release at the moment.
So, the changes I will do, based on what Matt has commented above are:
* Remove the version number from the firefox homepage and its translations
* Bump the version number in all of the

First i like to thank you for the productive discussion here.
That´s sadly not the normal way in FOSS.

Indeed, it would be best if the About Ubuntu document automatically
substituted its version number based on lsb_release, so that we have even
fewer things to change.

An other thought maybe for edgy
Why not have a systemwide variable for this purpose like the same way we
define the LANG variable?
Maybe:
$ echo $DISTRIBUTION
Ubuntu
$ echo $RELEASE
Dapper
$ echo $RELEASENUMBER
6.06
$ echo $RELEASENUMBERMINOR

It should perform that substitution during the build process. Someone from
the development team should be able to provide a
Thanks for this Matt: About Ubuntu and all the other ubuntu-specific
documents all get their version number from the same file, so changing
that will change it all.
The firefox homepage is separate from this scheme, so if you want to
leave that and upload new -docs packages with the change to
If the inconsistency with the Firefox default page is an issue, I'd prefer
to remove the version number entirely. It doesn't need to be there, and
it's just one more opportunity for human error when doing releases.

6.06.1 is a maintenance release of 6.06. It merely incorporates many
post-release updates and doesn't constitute a proper new release. It is
not necessary or appropriate to change the version number in every
context. 6.06 is still correct; systems installed or upgraded with
6.06.1 are simply

I just thought it would be more obviously for users they have everything
installed and do not need to worry they are missing something. Because the FF
default homepage is something like a figurehead.
I do not want to cause unnecessary work. It just thought it shouldn´t

I'm still not completely satisfied that we can close this bug. Matt, as
Thilo pointed out on the mailing list, on the point release spec it
says:
The support team would like to have good traceability of the contents
of Dapper at its original release and at each point release.
The support team and
The support team can't rely on this for anything particularly useful; a
user could upgrade to an equivalent level immediately before the point
release, and have the same packages without the version number changing.
Changing About Ubuntu should satisfy their needs by giving them an
easy way to
...of course i meant the Dapper point update which where released today.
