I don't mind about a fun. :) But those files do state, that user is running some _release_ which is not true because of Rolling Release System (tm) ;-)
Ah, I get your point now. It does make sense.
How about a change from "version X.Y" to "Codename: FOO" i.e. "Codename: Duke"
A bit better. It will be fun when user will be surprised by new codename after one of -Syu on the next reboot. :-D 2007/5/11, Dale Blount <dale@archlinux.org>:
Why don't we keep labeling release CDs as such but have pacman write the date to /etc/arch-release on successful -Su (or -Syu maybe)? It always did bother me that at times you could get a newer release than was actually available for download. This way we'd know exactly last time the system was updated.
Hm... sounds interesting... Looks like a decent idea to Arch. :-) Not so good to other distros with Pacman, that probably won't have Rolling Release System, but that can be solved. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
