Description
ceph -v gives luminous (stable) - should it be luminous (LTS)?
luminous(12.y.z) is an LTS release and we call stable all odd releases like 13.y.z will be `stable`.
Not sure if it was intentional or did we change anything in release type.
# ceph -v
ceph version 12.2.1 (3e7492b9ada8bdc9a5cd0feafd42fbca27f9c38e) luminous (stable)
# ceph daemon osd.0 version
{"version":"12.2.1","release":"luminous","release_type":"stable"}

Does "ceph -v" return "LTS" in any of the other LTS releases, i.e. jewel, hammer?
- Status changed from New to Need More Info
LTS means Long Term Stable. The odd-numbered releases are just "Stable". In other words, both are "stable" - the only difference is the length of the maintenance period.
If jewel and hammer "ceph -v" says "LTS" instead of "stable", we should change it in luminous. Otherwise I would just leave it as it is?

Thanks for the response Nathan. In jewel or hammer, we just used to give version string with sha1. This is all new came in the luminous release.
For example from jewel release:
$ ceph -v
ceph version 10.2.9 (2ee413f77150c0f375ff6f10edd6c8f9c7d060d0)
I checked previous beta and "rc" releases of luminous. I think "release_type" field purpose is Alfa, Beta, "rc" and then stable. Because of that it should be good. I misunderstood this release_type from the term Odd(Stable) and even(LTS).
I am closing this one.
Thanks,
Vikhyat
