For the lookup of the kernel version kiwi provided a small C program that reads the first bytes of the kernel binary and extracts the version information. Given the various compression formats and also the problem of kernel files that contains the decompressor code which could be anything it has turned out to be difficult to provide a stable tool to read the version from the binary. Therefore the code in kiwi was refactored to read the version via regexp match from the filename which also makes kversion an obsolete tool. This Fixes #1308 |
