Description Manuel Hiebel 2014-02-08 21:04:46 CET 
Description of problem:

http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/mageia-release/current/SPECS/mageia-release.spec?view=markup

why using distname which always refears to cauldron instead of distrib which is Official or Cauldron ?

it looks to confuse some users http://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/topic-17459.php#m168606

Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2014-02-08 21:11:58 CET 
not here...

cat /etc/release 
Mageia release 4 (Official) for x86_64
Comment 2 Thomas Backlund 2014-02-08 21:12:59 CET 
rpm -qa |grep  mageia-release
mageia-release-Default-4-1.mga4
mageia-release-common-4-1.mga4
Comment 3 Thomas Backlund 2014-02-08 21:15:00 CET 
gah, it was /etc/version that was borked.
Comment 4 Thomas Backlund 2014-02-08 21:19:34 CET 
Ah, it comes from this:

#grep distname mageia-release.spec 
%define distname cauldron
echo "%{version} %{rel} %{distname}" > %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/version

so it does not change based on "am_i_cauldron"
