A potential problem with that, is that it's something that needs updating on every alpha release.

Sorry for the delay.

David - thanks for the patch, but I haven't committed it, because it didn't fix all the translations of the index page. I've run sed over the files to update the text to "8.04" and committed the change to the ubuntu-docs branch. The next upload will fix the issue.

Based on Colin's comment, I've changed this to "Hardy Heron", although this means that we should try and remember to change this to "8.04 LTS" before the release.

Hi Matthew,

It's been decided that Ubuntu 8.04 will not be deemed an LTS release until the first point release, to allow additional time for bugfixing and polish. Can this please be changed to say "8.04" instead for now?

Committed. I'm surprised not to have seen any public discussion of that though - was this in a TB meeting that I didn't spot?

Via private mail I've established that the correct string should indeed by "Ubuntu 8.04 LTS". This has been committed - it would be good to get this in for the beta release: can someone please sponsor an upload from https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-doc/ubuntu-hardy?

We've also shaved a couple of MB off the size of the package by fixing the translator filter script in debian/rules.

Thanks
