| Platform | Anyone | OS | AlmaLinux | OS Version | 8.3 |
| Summary | 0000076: Minor version is missing inside .discinfo file on ISO | ||||
| Description | The .discinfo file only shows the major version of AlmaLinux. There's no way to figure out which minor version of the release a given iso is from. Example: cat /mnt/alma83/.discinfo 1616719527.545010 AlmaLinux 8 x86_64 ALL Other EL clones do have the minor version specified correctly: cat /mnt/ol83/.discinfo 1604965593.730885 Oracle Linux 8.3.0 x86_64 ALL Why this is important? Because some third party systems relies on this information, I'm talking specifically about xCAT, an HPC Cluster Provisioning Suite: http://xcat.org Without this info it will be painful to adapt xCAT to have AlmaLinux support. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Just cat the .discinfo file. | ||||
| Additional Information | Indeed I can find the version 8.3 in some files, like the EFI folder on the BOOT.CFG file, but this is a hack. The "right way" is to have the minor version on the .discinfo file. | ||||

Hello and thanks for report! Here is .discinfo from CentOS: 1605735570.703541 CentOS Linux 8 x86_64 ALL How CentOS minor versions are recognized by mentioned software? |
|
|
Anyway we've decided to switch to full version in .discinfo and installer so .discinfo will look like that in the following 8.4 release: 1622012997.755714 AlmaLinux 8.4 x86_64 ALL |
|
|
AlmaLinux 8.4 was released and we've switched to minor version in .discinfo |
