Archlinux Changes: - $(uname -r) reports now the full kernel version
Interesting... can someone clarify what's going on with this? I was under the impression that under the new versioning scheme some versions would only have two numbers now, e.g. 3.0. Is this not the case any more and we will always have a third number? Is this an Arch specific thing or an upstream thing? (I've just been fixing some software to cope with the case when uname doesn't return a third number... perhaps that would no longer be necessary?) Thanks! Pete.

I can only show what does it look like: Stable: [karol@white ~]$ uname -r 3.0-ARCH Testing: [karol@black ~]$ uname -r 3.1.0-2-ARCH

The 3.1.0 is upstream. Our new versioning scheme is: <upstream version number>-<Arch Linux pkgrel>-ARCH I am a bit confused though, as I thought it should be '3.1', then '3.1.1' and so on, but '3.1' is '3.1.0' instead, at least internally.

Yeah, this confused me too. I was expecting 3.1 to be 3.1, not 3.1.0. I think that there have been some complaints about software breaking because of it relying on three version numbers, so perhaps they're just going to add the third .0 after all... oh well, that's probably the easiest thing anyway. Thanks again, Pete.
