[arch-general] uname26 - Where is it?
Hi, I've looked around for the last couple of weeks for a package providing uname26 [1]. However I couldn't find such and in the mean time compiled it for myself. I've also searched for the appearance of uname26 in the forums and the mailing lists and couldn't find that much about it. So I'm wondering whether nobody of you was (and/or is) affected by the kernel version scheme change, so that there is no need for you to have this package? As it is quite simple to get and compile this code, it wouldn't be that much of a hassle to package it. However I'm not that much into packaging, so I wouldn't like to do it, unless I have to. I'm not asking anyone of you to do the packaging, and considering myself to get into it (the whole Arch Build System), but I'm wondering why nobody of you seems to have a need for it ;)? Best regards, Karol Babioch

So this seems to mean that setarch makes uname26 quite useless. I haven't realized that, so I'm sorry for my request in the first place. Thanks for the fast replay anyway. Best regards, Karol Babioch

'setarch' also makes 'linux32' useless, yet it exists. Anyway, 'setarch' can do it all.

Actually, I just checked: linux32 *is* setarch, at least now: $ ls -l /usr/bin/linux32 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 7 Oct 20 07:55 /usr/bin/linux32 -> setarch Cheers, Norbert
