Description Alan Pevec 2011-08-08 10:23:00 UTC

version.txt should be provided in RHEV-H 5.x RPM too

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #722967 +++

Description of problem:
In order to identify the version of the installed ISO file,
RHEV-M backend should be able to access a text file, containing
current version and release of the installed ISO file.

The text file should be accessible to JBoss user (and maybe more).
The file format should be simple:
version,release

Additional info:
RHEV-M backend will be using this information in order to compare
with VERSION and RELEASE in /etc/default/version on running rhevh.
So the figures should be comparable.

* Please provide information on the type of VERSION and RELEASE, so we'll
know how to perform the comparison. IE- Is it integers / other?

Similar request after this was modelled is for Spice version, bug 722783

Put RHEV-H version info in /usr/share/rhev-hypervisor/version.txt
