Comment 2 for bug 371773

Ok, I've run into a bit of a problem and need some advice from other doc team members. We currently have the variable "distro-rev" which is set at "8.04" for the hardy branch. Am I correct in saying that this is declared in libs/global.ent?

Now this variable seems to work in most places so we shouldn't change it, but we don't seem to have one for point releases (e.g. 8.04.2). The link in question for this bug is making use of the distro-rev variable, twice actually. I could hardcode a ".2" after the second appearance of the variable (see below), but the problem would simply resurface when 8.04.3 is released and the file online is updated. It's possible that this problem exists elsewhere and simply hasn't been reported.

The line in question is:
<command>wget http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/jeos/releases/&distro-rev;/release/ubuntu-&distro-rev;-jeos-i386.iso</command>

The "ubuntu-" part needs to be removed, but the distro-rev following it currently needs a .2 appended.

How do we proceed?
