[gentoo-user] os-headers differ from kernel version
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 This is just a difference that I noticed while running the 'emerge - --info' command. My kernel is 2.6.12-gentoo-r9, but emerge --info reports the os-headers as 2.6.11-r2. I was able to trace the os-headers info back to the sys-kernel/linux-headers package, which it seems the most recent is 2.6.11-r2. Why the difference? Does it matter? - -- gentux echo hfouvyAdpy/ofu | perl -pe 's/(.)/chr(ord($1)-1)/ge' gentux's gpg fingerprint == 34CE 2E97 40C7 EF6E EC40 9795 2D81 924A 6996 0993 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDRGeqLYGSSmmWCZMRAqmDAKDokvhbBhIXqzfpVpPz85qPmu1tbQCcClmz MnUkfkB6ZPNz1s5tQYpkU+k= =QXok -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

This doesn't have to coincide with the kernel version you're currently running, and is updated much less frequently than the kernel simply because there is no reason to do so. Note that if you update your os-headers package, you should recompile glibc to take advantage of the update.
