Hi

 

I would like to add Armbian version to banner after login (eg. v5.10) to be sure that I'm using latest version. Is this value stored somewhere in the filesystem? I already checked:

/proc/version

/etc/debian_version

/etc/os-release

 

but it's not there. I found it in /etc/armbian.txt but this is plain text file and parsing it to fetch the value is a little overkill. Is there a better place where I can find it?

Is there a better place where I can find it?

You can check version of Armbian-specific packages (kernel, headers, DTB, board support package), it should match Armbian release version. I.e.

dpkg-query -W -f='${Version}\n' linux-jessie-root-orangepione

There will be an easier way to get Armbian version in the future, but probably not in the next release.

It is enough for me for now. Thank you.

Just for people who need such info: in latests Armbian you can find armbian specific info in following file

/etc/armbian-release

many thanks, very helpful.
