Sorry for the delay.
Here is an updated patch for Hardy. I had it link to the page where a
user can download the Hardy version of JeOS such that it matches the
rest of the documentation (per Matthew's comment). This also makes it
line up with the link to the MD5SUMS file. I also reworded the
On further inspection this isn't a problem in later versions of
documentation, so this bug can be rejected for Karmic since we won't be
adding variables either.
I just realized in my previous patch that I hardcoded the 8.04 from a
copy/paste of the link. Sorry, here's an adjustment. I also
Hello Connor,
Thanks for working on this. I like the idea of linking to
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jeos/releases/ and mentioning that's where to
find the latest release.
I think users will be able to navigate to the latest once they find
their way to that page.
Thanks again,
Adam

Is there an issue with linking to the latest version if it means that
the other instructions in the JeOS section of the guide might not work
for that version of JeOS?
If so, probably the best approach is to link to the same version of JeOS
as is documented in the guide.

I think you're probably correct Matthew. It would be nice to also add a
note about getting newer versions, but seeing as there currently aren't
any and this is going to be a SRU, we probably shouldn't.
Adam, thanks for your feedback, but given that the rest of the
documentation is going to be
I was thinking about whether we should be using a variable like this a
bit more, and I've had a chat with some of the developers about this.
I'm pasting below a snipped version of the log.
The conclusion that was come to is that we should avoid using the point
release variable in the
Thanks Matthew, I understand the developers' concern with adding such a
tag. I'll come up with a new proposed patch.

Ok, I'm running into a bit of a dilemma. Currently the documentation
states that you can download the _latest_ JeOS from such-and-such site
which links to the 8.04 JeOS page.
Do we want to change the string in the documentation to say something like,
You can download JeOS from ... and keep the
Artur, that is what I was thinking, but I'm just not sure on the
repercussions of doing that, I think Matthew needs to comment. I would
try and match the naming convention as closely as possible, and make it
a fully unique string of the Ubuntu version.
Example:
!ENTITY distro-rev-point
Connor,
For me it looks reasonably. Although for regular releases these two
entities would be the same.

Here is a proposed patch for Hardy. It adds a new variable called
distro-rev-point and updates 2 links in serverguide's jeos.xml file.
There may be other areas in the documentation where this new variable
may be needed (or at least applicable). If we decide to keep this
variable, I suppose it
Connor, what do you think about add to global.ent additional entity, eg.
!ENTITY distro-extraver '.2'?
Then you could use it in document:
commandwget

In case of normal release
Thank you for reporting this bug, I'll put together a patch for the

Ok, I've run into a bit of a problem and need some advice from other doc
team members. We currently have the variable distro-rev which is set
at 8.04 for the hardy branch. Am I correct in saying that this is
declared in libs/global.ent?
Now this variable seems to work in most places so we
