If VERSION_CODENAME is specified, it should be correct. So it should be "stretch" on stretch and "sid" on sid, but I have no good idea how to make it work for stretch/sid (due to the testing migrations). So better not provide VERSION_CODENAME instead of a wrong one. PS: You might want to update VERSION_ID and VERSION to 8.5 in jessie too. -- Benjamin Drung System Developer Debian & Ubuntu Developer ProfitBricks GmbH Greifswalder Str. 207 D - 10405 Berlin Email: benjamin.dr...@profitbricks.com URL: http://www.profitbricks.com Sitz der Gesellschaft: Berlin.
