Howto find my sparky version

[ElQuia]

Hi sorry for the noob question.  I had installed 3.4.1 in a VBox (3.12) machine. Just did a full dist upgrade, my kernel is now 3.14 something but:
How can I find if my sparky is 3.5?
lsb_release -a   gives me this:

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:   Debian
Description:   Debian GNU/Linux testing (jessie)
Release:   testing
Codename:   jessie
root@sparkyqtpab:/home/pablo#

OTHER noob: Which are the repos I should be using? could you point me to a list?
OTHER: Is there an automatic or semi automatic way of adding all 3.5 new goodies? I mannually added sparky aptplus extra but when trying to install skype it gives an error, install ok skype from synaptic

uname -a gives me this:
Linux sparkyqtpab 3.14-2-486 #1 Debian 3.14.15-2 (2014-08-09) i686 GNU/Linux

That's right.
Sparky is a pure (in 99%) Debian testing so it shows Debian.

The most important repos are:
- Debian testing
- Sparky testing
Rest of them is a question of your choice.

There is no semi or full automatic ways to add the new features.
Everything is in our repos so install what you like.

when trying to install skype it gives an error,

I will check it, thank's.
Just tell me what version of Sparky you have? 3.4.1 is 64 bit, but your uname -a shows i486.

The 'skype' installation is fixed in 'sparky-aptus-extra' 0.1.3
Thank's again for reporting that.

Mine shows

Linux android 3.14-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.15-2 (2014-08-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux

That's fine.
It should be like that.

I dist-upgraded the sparkylinux. Why doesn't it show as 3.15?

uname -a

Linux android 3.14-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.14.15-2 (2014-08-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I dist-upgraded the sparkylinux. Why doesn't it show as 3.15?
Because Sparky iso installs Debian testing with some desktop modifications and my apps. 
Every upgrade will upgrade Debian testing for... Debian testing :)

distupgrade---> That is why sparkybackup dist iso does show debain desktop and debian LxDE look instead of sparkylinux's version.
