Now that I look at this again, I'm confused - shouldn't this whole thing
have a ! in front?
why?
I need this definition only for Ubuntu releases that are below 24.
Canonical ported that starting 24.
What am I missing?
But every mainline kernel, say 3.10, also needs it. Also Ubuntu with
3.10, for example.
You are right obviously.
What happens if the user is not running a Ubuntu kernel and
UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI is undefined?
I am really pissed off about Ubuntu's backporting API changes so that testing
LINUX_VERSION_CODE is no longer sufficient. In fact when someone complains the
one of the out-of-kernel drivers that I maintain does not build with kernel X.Y,
I check that version out in mainline, build the driver to make sure the problem
is not mine, and then tell them to complain to their vendor. I no longer fix
those problems. I think RHEL is also doing the same kind of thing - at least I
did get one complaint about a build problem that seemed to be due to an API
backport. Where do we stop?
