Guys, this code name bashing is starting to get ridiculous. Some people are better at remembering names, others are better at memorizing numbers. So where's the big deal? I myself firmly belong to the first group, having trouble remembering my own phone number. That's why I barely have an idea of what Debian or Ubuntu version *number* I'm using. But I know for certain that I'm running squeeze (or wheezy, on more experimental machines or newish hardware) and precise (and yes, I know it's an LTS version). Of course, numbers have more intrinsic information. But what use is knowing that 4 follows 3 if you don't remember whether you are on version 3 or 4? (Not to mention numbering gaps, major vs. minor version number increments, and similar marketing non-sense.) For mates in my group: here's the command (of about equal complexity) to find out your "release number": $lsb_release --short --release 7.0 Regards Markus Wanner P.S.: did the Postgres project ever considering using proper release names? That would avoid the recurring confusion between 9.4 and 10.0, for example. *runs* *hides* *covers* *prays* -- Sent via pgsql-pkg-debian mailing list (pgsql-pkg-debian@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-pkg-debian
