[Linux-streams] Re: LiS Installation Script

[David Grothe]

As I recall the idea was to place more stock in the kernel version 
information found in /proc when building for the running kernel.  If 
version.h differs from what /proc says then I guess it means that the 
kernel source directory is not for the running kernel.

If I put that check back in, I wonder what else would break....

We seem to keep going round and round on these issues.  It doesn't help, of 
course, that the distributions introduce chaos into these efforts with 
every new release.  What are the units for entropy?

Hi Dave:

        I notice that the current LiS installation script
        (LiS-2.16.8 for example) no longer audits the
        kernel version from the version.h file with that
        of the running kernel (via uname -r). So it
        appears conceivable that a version.h file exists
        that is different from the running kernel and LiS
        will proceed to install regardless. This seems
        risky. One could end up with an LiS compiled with
        header files that do not correlate to the running
        kernel. No?
        Thanks, Matt Gierlach
