Makoto,

As we upgrade out kernels (most recently 4.3 to 4.5) we notice that the
Options variable in /stand/sysinstall is set to "4.5-RELEASE-p5" which is
not recognised when we try to download packages from our local mirror. We
have to change the parameter to "4.5-RELEASE" before it will find the
packages. This change is not permanent and needs to be done every time.

From my reading of the documentation it seems like the env variable
releaseName should allow us to set this parameter.


Have I misread something or made a mistake in the upgrade process?

Thanks,
Ash
