Updated mageia-release package fixes release information files and adds macros.dist
Publication date: 10 Nov 2015Modification date: 10 Nov 2015
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 5
Description
The /etc/os-release file provided by mageia-release-common was missing
the VERSION_ID field, which some applications used for determining the
version of a distribution.
The /etc/version file provided by mageia-release-common continued to
declare it was "cauldron" in stable releases.
Additionally, the macros.dist file introduced in Cauldron was backported
to Mageia 5. This file adds the following macros:
%{dist}, defined as ".mga5"
%{mageia}, defined as 5
%{mga5}, defined as 1
The addition of these macros does not affect the existing configuration of
services, but is required for some build tools (such as Koji) to be able
to sort built packages by distribution release.
