From 67f90b0d85bc425ec2c11106e8270c981c36585a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luca Boccassi Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2024 20:35:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] os-release: change RELEASE_TYPE value from 'pre-release' to 'development' The point was made on https://lists.debian.org/debian-ctte/2024/08/msg00005.html that 'pre-release sounds' like an RC candidate, ie, something that will change very slightly in the released version. But this is not necessarily the case for example at the beginnig of a Fedora Rawhide or Debian Testing release cycle, so change it to a more generic 'development' Follow-up for 7102dc52e6b03248da1f01b3a8a4b83c6d7a1316 --- man/os-release.xml | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/man/os-release.xml b/man/os-release.xml index 28384d352a..01c2018003 100644 --- a/man/os-release.xml +++ b/man/os-release.xml @@ -338,14 +338,14 @@ use and supported for an extended period of time.
