Fetch the current ubuntu release names and versions from wikipedia

Project description

Ubuntu release names

@readwithai - X - blog - machine-aided reading - 📖⚡️🖋️

Fetch the Ubuntu release names from Wikipedia and print to the command-line.

Motivation

This is kind of a joke about all these names being annoying to look up and remember (always yet another Ubuntu release name). This was particularly annoying when looking for packages across multiple versions.

Installation

pipx install ubuntu-release-names

Usage

You can output all the release names with:

ubuntu-release-names

The finall column is whether the relase is a long term release.

You can output the versions in --json

ubuntu-release-names

Caveats

This is machine parsing of human-readable data. An LLM would probably be more reliable, but then I would have to deal with API keys. Bet it doesn't break for a long time tho.
