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.

Place to change

  • The code name appeared at least 2 times in the dist-upgrade tool. Need to get more specific info as to where.

  • 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.
