Eucalyptus version string is incorrect (currently 1.6-devel, should be 1.6)

Which of these need to be fixed?

Adding an upstream task.

We're going to release a minimally invasive one-liner to fix this in the web frontend for Karmic.

However, upstream needs to fix this more generally.

I recommend adding something to your upstream release scripts that comprehensive and consistently does this, as well as hard coding the version string in as few places as possible.

About face.

Discussion with Dan in IRC... This isn't a good change at this point in the cycle. To change it in only one place is very inconsistent. To change it everywhere is too invasive. Upstream will solve this properly before the next release. Won'f Fix for Karmic.

:-Dustin

This branch contains a simple fix to change the admin UI version string to '1.6', in order to help avoid confusion with users having prior versions of eucalyptus (1.6-devel).

Eucalyptus positively insists on fixing this for release. I've committed the trivial, cosmetic fix.

Don't shoot the messenger.

:-Dustin

This bug was fixed in the package eucalyptus - 1.6~bzr931-0ubuntu5

---------------
eucalyptus (1.6~bzr931-0ubuntu5) karmic; urgency=low

  * clc/modules/www/src/main/java/edu/ucsb/eucalyptus/admin/client/EucalyptusWebInterface.java:
    change the Eucalyptus version string displayed in the web interface
    from "1.6-devel" to "1.6"; this version is officially released by
    upstream, and a far more invasive patch is required to fix all of
    the -devel references; this minimal patch is required for the
    cosmetics of the web front end for the Ubuntu 9.10 release (LP: #452271)
