osinfo still uses deprecated SL-Micro name
Last modified: 2024-07-17 20:12:49 UTC
The osinfo-query os programm still uses the deprecated SL-Micro nomenclature > osinfo-query os | grep -i slm6 > slm6.0 | SUSE Linux Micro 6.0 | 6.0 | http://suse.com/slm/6.0 This affects then also applications like virt-manager. Since the name of SL-Micro 6.0 has been renamed back to SLEM 6.0, this should also display it similar to previous SLEM versions: > slem5.0 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro | 5.0 | http://suse.com/slem/5.0 > slem5.1 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.1 | 5.1 | http://suse.com/slem/5.1 > slem5.2 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.2 | 5.2 | http://suse.com/slem/5.2 > slem5.3 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.3 | 5.3 | http://suse.com/slem/5.3 > slem5.4 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.4 | 5.4 | http://suse.com/slem/5.4 > slem5.5 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.5 | 5.5 | http://suse.com/slem/5.5 Here it should be listed als `slem6.0`.

Hi Yaro is this true? Did PM change mind again, we have to switch back to SLE Micro?
See bug 1222738 The GM media for Micro 6.0 has the word "Enterprise" removed. It is too late to go back given that it released on June 6th. I'll wait for a response from Yaro before marking this bug as invalid.
(In reply to Claudio Fontana from comment #1) > Hi Yaro is this true? Did PM change mind again, we have to switch back to > SLE Micro? As announced and written several times by the SLE Micro people: upper management changed their mind (not PM) and SL Micro got renamed back to SLE Micro. That's why you will only find "SLE Micro 6.0" on our webpage: https://documentation.suse.com/sle-micro/6.0/
Adding Daniel.
Let's be clear, the marketing name remains SLE Micro, the technical name is SL Micro aka SUSE Linux Micro. So osquery-info is actually correct.

This is so confusing. Please let's clarify what we should do here: `osinfo-query os` is facing our customers in many places - CLI, virt-manager and probably also Cockpit. The customers currently see the following: > slem5.0 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro | 5.0 | http://suse.com/slem/5.0 > slem5.1 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.1 | 5.1 | http://suse.com/slem/5.1 > slem5.2 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.2 | 5.2 | http://suse.com/slem/5.2 > slem5.3 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.3 | 5.3 | http://suse.com/slem/5.3 > slem5.4 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.4 | 5.4 | http://suse.com/slem/5.4 > slem5.5 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.5 | 5.5 | http://suse.com/slem/5.5 > slm6.0 | SUSE Linux Micro 6.0 | 6.0 | http://suse.com/slm/6.0 (The link to http://suse.com/slm/6.0 throws a 404 error by the way) How will SLEM 6.1 and follow-up releases look like? > slem5.0 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro | 5.0 | http://suse.com/slem/5.0 > slem5.1 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.1 | 5.1 | http://suse.com/slem/5.1 > slem5.2 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.2 | 5.2 | http://suse.com/slem/5.2 > slem5.3 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.3 | 5.3 | http://suse.com/slem/5.3 > slem5.4 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.4 | 5.4 | http://suse.com/slem/5.4 > slem5.5 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.5 | 5.5 | http://suse.com/slem/5.5 > slm6.0 | SUSE Linux Micro 6.0 | 6.0 | http://suse.com/slm/6.0 > slem6.1 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 6.1 | 6.1 | http://suse.com/slem/6.1 or > slem5.0 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro | 5.0 | http://suse.com/slem/5.0 > slem5.1 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.1 | 5.1 | http://suse.com/slem/5.1 > slem5.2 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.2 | 5.2 | http://suse.com/slem/5.2 > slem5.3 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.3 | 5.3 | http://suse.com/slem/5.3 > slem5.4 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.4 | 5.4 | http://suse.com/slem/5.4 > slem5.5 | SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.5 | 5.5 | http://suse.com/slem/5.5 > slm6.0 | SUSE Linux Micro 6.0 | 6.0 | http://suse.com/slm/6.0 > slm6.1 | SUSE Linux Micro 6.1 | 6.1 | http://suse.com/slm/6.1 ... > slm6.42 | SUSE Linux Micro 6.42 | 6.42 | http://suse.com/slm/6.42 It is a minor issue, but if this is even internally confusing, it might be also confusing for our customers. There are good reasons to change this to remain consistent within a product line.
Currently, this is how I've implemented this (not yet submitted upstream or Factory). virt-manager / virt-install looks for "SUSE Linux Micro 6.0" because that is how it is described on the media (ISO and network sources). The osinfo database has the description as "SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 6.0". That is what will be presented to the user by virt-manager and osinfo-query when Micro 6.0 is detected. The short name "slm" is gone from the osinfo database. Only "slem" is used to describe the Micro products. If this is a problem, speak now or forever hold your peace.
