Hi all, What would people think of a patch that made stdenv's uname return the same value on every linux? I've only just had the idea and haven't had time to think through the possible downsides, but my initial thought is that most packages shouldn't need to know the kernel version, and that those that have a reason to (e.g. packages that provide kernel modules) should be dependent on the kernel passed to the nix expression, rather than whatever the kernel happens to be in memory at a given time. Or am I wrong? Is there a reason a build should depend on which version of the kernel is currently in use?
