Debian releases

[Martin Simons]

Dear CFEngineer,

In CFEngine 3.7.5
On a Debian Wheezy box sys.flavour reports: debian_wheezy (where it reported debian_7 previously)
On a Debian Jessie box sys.flavour reports debian_8, like it used to.

What is this?

Kind regards,
Martin.

I am running 3.7.5 on a laptop, and Debian stretch. Everything looks
normal here (see output below).

I don't remember about wheezy throwing out the debian_wheezy class, it
was too long ago. However, I remember we had to build a debian_info
bundle in Opera to get consistent information about debian. One of the
things was to build classes like debian_wheezy or debian_jessie using
classmatch(). So it's either that the debian_${codename} was not there
after wheezy, or that it wasn't there at all for any distribution.

 it Dear Marco,

Funny:
root@cfehwhpdcsw3:/var/lib/git/CFEngine-Roadshow# cf-promises --show-vars | grep flavo
default:debian.sys#flavour               debian_wheezy                                                source=agent                           
default:do_roadshow.sys#flavor           debian_wheezy                                                source=agent                           
default:feed_hard_classes.sys#flavor     debian_wheezy                                                source=agent                           
default:inventory_os.sys#flavor          debian_wheezy                                                source=agent                           
default:report_sys_os.sys#flavor         debian_wheezy                                                source=agent                           
default:sys.flavor                       debian_wheezy                                                inventory,source=agent,attribute_name=none

I am phasing Wheezy out, but it is good to know about stretch.

No CFEngine in pbx, I'm afraid.

Kind regards,
Martin.
