The right thing to do is to discuss this with the development team first, and establish some consensus about the right thing to do, before filing a bug report asking for a change. CCing the cdimage team for comment. > Incidentally, Canonical provide 4 distro-flavours of the isos: > Ubuntu, Kubuntu, as mentioned above, but also Edubuntu and Xubuntu > All are named feisty-desktop/alternate/etc, and all should be easily > distinguishable from one another. I agree with the points raised above; it would be valuable in many instances to be able to determine the precise version of an ISO from the filename. However, as it happens, I (and probably other developers as well) rely on having a fixed filename in order to do things like automatically rsync the latest images without knowing their name. It's likely that we can find a compromise which satisfies both needs, like using symlinks, but this illustrates the need for discussion before pushing a particular solution. -- - mdz -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
