using 3.x instead of 3.x.0 (when minor-minor version is 0) is done by kernel.org, so I suppose it makes sense for Debian to follow this scheme. it may be a good idea to run a test that logs all components calling uname, so they can be checked for version scheme bugs. On Sun, Sep 8, 2013 at 5:46

this work-around will make program think they run on top of 2.6.x kernel, which might be a bug if the program does have special behavior for 3.x.y On Mon, Sep 9, 2013 at 3:49 PM, Ben Hutchings b...@decadent.org.uk wrote: On Mon, 2013-09-09 at 14:12 +0200, Yoram Bar Haim wrote: using 3.x
