Three different version numbers are being reported
potatopotentate opened this issue · comments
Describe the bug
There seem to be three different notions of "version":
| Method of checking | Version |
|---|---|
apt-cache policy pengwin-base |
1.0-873 |
grep "PENGWIN_VERSION" /etc/os-release |
22.1.6 |
| Windows | 22.3.2.0 |
To Reproduce
- Run
apt-cache policy pengwin-basein a WSL terminal - You'll see output like:
pengwin-base:
Installed: 1.0-873
Candidate: 1.0-873- Run
grep "PENGWIN_VERSION" /etc/os-releasein a WSL terminal - You'll see output like:
PENGWIN_VERSION="22.1.6"- Search for pengwin in the Start Menu, then right-click and open "App settings"
- You'll see details like:
Specifications
Publisher: Whitewater Foundry
Version: 22.3.2.0Expected behavior
These 3 methods should output the same version, or the docs should explain the difference between them and how to get each one. Currently, the instructions only mention apt-cache policy which reports the least-relevant version number and it's difficult to know which version of Pengwin is installed.
