Thanks for the report.

On Linux, the uname.release version contains a numeric string. The uname.version field is not documented as to it's contents, but POSIX merely requires that release and version together identify the operating system kernel. As confusing as it may be, this behavior is a kernel choice, and coreutils uname(1) has no control over it. Coreutils is accurately reporting what the kernel told it. -- Eric Blake ebl...@redhat.com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
