Description aruffin@redhat.com 2023-08-03 16:44:38 UTC

Description of problem:
BugZilla 2210139 corrected the issue of inaccurate stats being displayed when the "podman stats" command was run with the --no-stream option.

However, "podman version" returns no difference in the version number returned between the inaccurate podman 3.0.1 vs the corrected podman 3.0.1-11.  In both cases, the version returned is 3.0.1.

Customer would like the entire version number displayed to make it easier to identify which podman is in use.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.0.1-11

How reproducible:
Very.   

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install podman 3.0.1-11 (or later)
2. Execute "podman version"


Actual results:
# podman version
Version:      3.0.1

Expected results:
We expect podman to not cut off the end of the version number

Comment 1 Matthew Heon 2023-08-03 17:17:09 UTC

The output of `podman version` is correct, as this is Podman 3.0.1 - plus some extra, RHEL-specific patches. 3.0.1-11 is the RPM version, which is not correlated to the version of Podman (and I don't really know how we'd correlate them - Podman 4.4.1, for example, is shipped in both RHEL8 and RHEL9, so we could easily end up with podman-4.4.1-3 on RHEL8 referring to the same code as Podman 4.4.1-5 on RHEL9, or similar. As such we have no plans to make changes to `podman version` to include information on the RPM Podman was shipped in.

That said, it should be possible to include full information on the RPM package in `podman info` to indicate the RPM that the installed Podman came from. Would this be acceptable?
