http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908454 --- Comment #16 from Volker Kuhlmann <list0570@paradise.net.nz> --- Using file may not be so simple: # file /boot/zImage-3.19.3-1-default /boot/zImage-3.19.3-1-default: Linux kernel ARM boot executable zImage (little-endian) # file -v file-5.19 Perhaps that was the reason for the existence of get_kernel_version. Any reason not to use just the file name (or link name, don't de-reference), as Ludwig suggested? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
