| smoser | is it declared / decided what major.minor wily will be ? | 16:20 |
|---|---|---|
| rtg | smoser, likely 4.2 | 16:22 |
| rtg | 99% sure | 16:23 |
| smoser | rtg, thank you. | 16:23 |
| smoser | rtg, silly related qestion | 16:25 |
| smoser | uname will show 4.2.0 ? | 16:25 |
| smoser | is .0 basically always now ? /me remembers this sort of | 16:26 |
| rtg | smoser, yup | 16:26 |
| rtg | smoser, /proc/version_signature shows the stable release version, e.g., 3.13.11-ckt20 | 16:27 |
| infinity | smoser: To be fair, it's always been like this. As in, our uname never showed patchlevel. | 16:29 |
| infinity | smoser: It's just that it got a bit wonky when upstream switched from 3-part (plus pl) to 2-part (plus pl), but downstreams were scared to death (rightly so) of userspace exploding with a 2-part uname, so we tacked a fake .0 to the end of it. :P | 16:30 |
| smoser | that wasn't really what i was asking about. | 16:30 |
| smoser | more the change from 2.6.18 where major.minor.micro meant one thing to 3.19 where micro essentially is gone. | 16:30 |
| infinity | smoser: It's actually minor that's gone from that scheme. | 16:31 |
| infinity | If one wants to be a pedant. | 16:31 |
| infinity | But yeah, our workaround is confusing. | 16:32 |
| infinity | And probably worth revisiting some day, but I don't think anyone digs the task of "test all userspace software ever" to see if we can get away with just reporting "4.2". | 16:33 |
