I don't myself. A minimal kernel version could be mined out of libc preinsts, I guess. In general I'm not aware of any cases of maximal kernel versions, just a variety of workarounds (for example userspace that predates Linux 3.x tends to need to be wrapped in 'setarch "$(arch)" --uname-2.6', but even wheezy is newer than that). -- Colin Watson [[email protected]]
