Hi All...
I have always been confused by the kernel version numbers and I finally
decided to just look stupid and ask.
I am currently running:
actual:/home/jim/openvz/kernels# uname -a
Linux actual.registrationtek.com 2.6.18-openvz-amd64 #1 SMP Mon Mar 12
21:59:13 UTC 2007 x86_64 GNU/Linux
actual:/home/jim/openvz/kernels#
The file name for the deb package for this version is:
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-amd64_028.18-2.6.18-11-1_amd64.deb
I see that there is now:
linux-image-2.6.18-openvz-amd64_028.18.1-2.6.18-12-1_amd64.deb
This file has a date of April 11, 2007, so I know it's newer. But how can
I tell from the version numbers? Both are 028.18 but the newer one has a
lower number, .1-2, than the older one, which has 6. So what's the proper
way to parse this?
Also, is there a posted list of changes? I'm running OpenVZ in production
now and so prefer not to risk an upgrade and reboot unless necessary.
Thanks!
Jim
