Public bug reported: Binary package hint: lsb
Currently (Lucid), lsb_release only shows information about current system status. It would be nice (wishlist) if we could keep track of the last fresh install and all intervening release upgrades. Current output to lsb_release -a (omitting ugly LSB Version output): --------------------------------------------------- Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 Codename: lucid --------------------------------------------------- Suggested output: --------------------------------------------------- Distributor ID: Ubuntu Release history: jaunty, karmic-dev, karmic, lucid-dev, lucid Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 Codename: lucid --------------------------------------------------- Not sure if we can break 'release-dev' into parts: release-alpha1 release-beta and so on. Also not sure if this can create confusion if users upgrade manually (editing sources.list and then 'apt-get dist-upgrade'). ** Affects: lsb (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: Binary package hint: lsb Currently (Lucid), lsb_release only shows information about current system status.
