List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net Errors-To: nfs-bounces@lists.sourceforge.net getkversion fails when building against newer kernel headers, since UTS_RELEASE is no longer exported to userspace (nor is there any adequate replacement that I know of). This has already hit Ubuntu (making nfs-utils not build anymore), so they've simply stopped building it -- we're doing so in Debian as well, as we'll probably hit the same problems, and getkversion isn't really in use anyhow. Could we simply remove the tool from upstream git? Is there any known use for it? /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
