Purpose

The names of each release (e.g., Breezy Badger, Dapper Drake) are development code names. The official version number follows a Y.MM naming scheme (e.g., Version 5.10, Version 6.04). We don't want to use the version numbers prior to the actual release, as it increases the likelihood that a pre-release version will be mistaken for a final release. Similarly, we don't want the code names to be visible to the user once the final release has been made.

This page lists places where the code names are visible to the user in Ubuntu. Each should be replaced with either Ubuntu or Ubuntu X.XX prior to creation of the final images.

Places to change

  • update-manager (in the previous version's -updates repository as well)

  • The default home page (file:///usr/share/ubuntu-artwork/home/index.html) uses the code name on the top line.

  • The repository names as displayed in Synaptic use the code name.
  • The "About Ubuntu" page uses the code name.
  • Credit for various apps refer to the build as being for Dapper. Specifically,
    • Firefox
      • iwj says: "I don't think we should change the version info string; that appears in the user agent too and randomly messing with it is a bad idea."
