-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks
I am currently working on a design to fix these two bugs: "System settings version information lacks indication of writeable image" <http://launchpad.net/bugs/1466021> "The system-image based phone does not display a channel in its version UI" <http://launchpad.net/bugs/1385339> As part of this, I would like to find a single, short, pronouncable token that can appear on the main "About This Phone" screen, which provides the most useful information to tech support (and also bug triagers). There seem to be eight things involved in distinguishing an image. I want to understand which of these depend on which of the others, for example which of them reset when one of the others changes. 1. Ubuntu release, for example "Ubuntu 15.04" 2. Channel, for example "ubuntu-touch/stable/bq-aquaris.en" 3. Build number, for example "51" * I understand that a problem with the current "Ubuntu 15.04 r51" summary is that each channel has its own series of builds. Is that correct? * Do the build numbers ever reset to 1? For example, when the Ubuntu release changes? 4. Device image part, for example "20150529-8e13c5f" 5. Ubuntu image part, for example "20150629" * Is the Ubuntu image part redundant with the channel + build number? That is, if someone told you the channel and build number, could you find out what the image part was? 6. Customization image part, for example "1432879444" * My sending this message will probably double the number of Web search results for the phrase "customization image part", and most of the others are from version info in bug reports. What is it? How is it important? 7. Device build description, for example "KRILIN01A-S15A_BQ_L100EN_1051_150629". * Is the device build description redundant with the channel + Ubuntu image part? It looks like it might be. 8. Whether the image is writable or not. * Apparently this is a big issue for dealing with bug reports. Would it be a big issue for dealing with tech support requests too? Thanks in advance - -- mpt -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEARECAAYFAlWasfAACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecruXwCgrL7LrK3IHKXi53hwW808R3Hc za4AoMt7axQKjZq9CdCJvAYMykvkxxR+ =ASLH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-phone More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
