[Bug 887079] Re: Software Sources shows codenames not version numbers

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

Yes, I think removing those codenames would be an improvement. (Sorry
for taking so long to get back to this.)

Title:
  Software Sources shows codenames not version numbers

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  In the updates tab software-properties shows codenames such as
  'oneiric-updates' and 'oneiric-proposed'. As I understand it we
  shouldn't really show the codename to the user. It also seems somewhat
  redundant, it's not like that screen would ever have anything other
  than $current_release-* in it. I can see why the 3rd party sources
  might display codenames as users may (for whatever reason) want to add
  the source for an older (or newer) release on a 3rd party site to get
  an app.

  See screenshot.
