[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1327619] Re: kernel version detection in module build
Thanks for adding this, now I am able to automatically detect the version. It would sill be better if this define would be in include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h and not in include/generated/utsrelease.h, because utsrelease.h is not there in non ubuntu kernel and then an include will fail, but I can include which again includes to circumvent this problem. Instead of adding the ubuntu kernel version it would be better to add the EXTRAVERSION, then this would also work for the kernel versions you provide longterm support for. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1327619 Title: kernel version detection in module build Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Trusty: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Utopic: Fix Released Bug description: When building an external kernel module against an Ubuntu kernel it would help to be able to include some special code for some specific Ubuntu kernel version.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1327619] Re: kernel version detection in module build
This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- trusty' to 'verification-done-trusty'. If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.
