Public bug reported: Currently, the Information() D-Bus method provides the following something like:
current_build_number"="129" device_name"="generic_amd64" target_build_number"="131" version_detail"="ubuntu=20141205.1,raw-device=20141205.1,version=129" channel_name"="ubuntu-core/devel" last_update_date"="2014-12-05 05:26:42" last_check_date"="2014-12-05 15:41:43" Ideally, it would also provide "version_detail" for the latest revision on the server, that is version_detail for target_build_number. Even more ideally, it would break version_detail into chunks. Something like: current_ubuntu_version=ubuntu=20141205.1 current_raw_device_version=20141205.1 ... and for the latest revision found on the server, something like: target_ubuntu_version=ubuntu=20141205.9 target_raw_device_version=20141205.2 For bonus points, this information would also be available via 'system- image-cli -i', maybe requiring an addition option like '--full' to avoid breaking existing consumers of 'system-image-cli -i' output. Note that the command-line accessibility is potentially more important than the D-Bus interface due to the fact that system-image-cli -i provides the '-C' option to point it at an alternative installation. ** Affects: system-image (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1399687 Title: Provide "version_detail" for latest revision on server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-image/+bug/1399687/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
