distro-info
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The distro-info package provides centralized lists of code-names and release
|
|
history for the supported distributions (Currently: Debian and Ubuntu).
|
|
The distro-info data (in the distro-info-data package) can be updated once,
|
|
and all the packages using it will have the latest data. This avoids having to
|
|
hard-code current development release names (and other such volatile data)
|
|
into packages.
|
|
|
|
Outdated Data Errors
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
If you get an error that the package data is out of date, look for a newer
|
|
distro-info-data package in your distribution's updates.
|
|
|
|
On Debian, this is:
|
|
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable-updates main
|
|
|
|
On Ubuntu, it is:
|
|
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $RELEASE-updates main
|
|
where $RELEASE is the name of your release.
|
|
|
|
If there isn't an update available yet, you should be able to install the
|
|
latest version from Debian/unstable.
