First off: Ubuntu/Debian do not ship "patched version of the GNU findutils package [...] based on release 4.6.0". The ship a GIT snapshot. e.g. 4.6.0+git+20170828-2 is upstream GIT as of 2017-08-28. /usr/share/doc/findutils/changelog.Debian.gz even has the full respective GIT revision. (febde26dd0e66dda5d4060fa29b85443ddc6a865.). To clearly show that we are *not* shipping a upstream /release/ we are using a +git version.
The version number upstream GIT snapshots report depends a little bit on the way they are built (git present or not when make dist is invoked, et.al), they might show 4.7.0-git or 4.6.0.235-f254 (That is 4.6.0+git+20190510-2). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1842133 Title: findutils shows wrong version number To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/findutils/+bug/1842133/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
