Description Andreas Karis 2018-01-11 16:26:57 UTC
Description of problem:
Please include information about minor version (z stream) in rhosp-release if this wasn't planned already.
~~~
[root@undercloud-0 ~]# cat /etc/rhosp-release
Red Hat OpenStack Platform release 12.0 Beta (Pike)
~~~

So future z stream releases could read like:
~~~
[root@undercloud-0 ~]# cat /etc/rhosp-release
Red Hat OpenStack Platform release 12.0 z2 (Pike)
~~~

It would of course still be a best guess, though, mainly for our convenience.
~~~
[root@undercloud-0 ~]# cat /etc/rhosp-release
Red Hat OpenStack Platform release 12.0 Beta (Pike)
[root@undercloud-0 ~]# rpm -qf !$
rpm -qf /etc/rhosp-release
[root@undercloud-0 ~]# rpm -ql rhosp-release-12.0-2.el7.noarch
/etc/rhosp-release
~~~

This is just a text file. So customers can e.g. update neutron to the latest z release to get a bugfix, but not the other services. Or they simply update this particular rhosp-release RPM ;-) It's still highly unlikely that a customer will update this RPM by it's own, and way more likely that it gets updates with a `yum update` or with a Director minor update. So I think that including the z stream version in this text file is helpful.

We don't publish or disclose z2 or anything like publicly.  They're just internal tracking buckets and should never be communicated externally.  There are no minor versions, just a single stream of fixes.
