+# If this file is present and named "current-release" when aaa_base is
+# built, then we will modify the files /etc/slackware-version and
+# /etc/os-release to help users identify that this system is running a
+# -current (test) version of Slackware, rather than the otherwise listed
+# stable release.
+#
+# How useful this will be remains to be seen, because there can be a wide
+# variation in the amount of difference a -current installation has from
+# the previous stable depending on how many updates have been made to it.
+# But, it's probably better than nothing.
+#
+# Change made to /etc/slackware-version:
+# Append a "+" to indicate -current.
+#
+# Changes made to /etc/os-release:
+# Add VERSION_CODENAME seen below.
+# Use the PRETTY_NAME variable seen below.
+#
+# This file will still ship in the build directory of a stable release,
+# but will be renamed "current-release.inactive".
+
+# For /etc/slackware-version:
+SLACKWARE_VERSION="Slackware 15.0+"
+
+# For /etc/os-release:
+VERSION_CODENAME=current
+PRETTY_NAME="Slackware 15.0 $ARCH (post 15.0 -current)"
