distro-info =========== The distro-info package provides centralized lists of code-names and release history for the supported distributions (Currently: Debian and Ubuntu). The distro-info data (in the distro-info-data package) can be updated once, and all the packages using it will have the latest data. This avoids having to hard-code current development release names (and other such volatile data) into packages. Outdated Data Errors ==================== If you get an error that the package data is out of date, look for a newer distro-info-data package in your distribution's updates. On Debian, this is: deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian stable-updates main On Ubuntu, it is: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu $RELEASE-updates main where $RELEASE is the name of your release. If there isn't an update available yet, you should be able to install the latest version from Debian/unstable. Or pull it from the Internet at: * https://debian.pages.debian.net/distro-info-data/debian.csv * https://debian.pages.debian.net/distro-info-data/ubuntu.csv
