Moin Moin,

does anyone know why Linux Kernel Header Package is still on 2.6.32.x.x.x Versioning in SLES11 SP2 ?

the latest version of linux-kernel-headers is 2.6.32 while kernel has 3.0.58.

Or does the new kernel do not need the kernel-headers anymore ? may be its my fault and i should take a better look… 😉

Regards  
Oliver

Hi Oliver,

from [http://www.novell.com/docrep/2012/01/sle11\_sp2\_isv\_faq.pdf](http://www.novell.com/docrep/2012/01/sle11_sp2_isv_faq.pdf) :

"How will SUSE maintain compatibility between SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP1 and SP2?

Compatibility will be delivered by maintaining runtime library interface compatibility. SUSE will ensure that user-  
space interfaces will not change between SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 SP1 and SP2. ISV certifications issued for  
software running on SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 should remain valid for SP2. With regard to the kernel, we are taking  
all steps necessary to ensure full compatibility of the kernel’s interfaces to user-space libraries and applications, and  
we are working closely with ISVs around their needs in this area. For example, the kernel header files (i.e. the  
kernel programming interface presented to the compiler) remain at the version used in SUSE Linux Enterprise 11  
SP1 except for the addition of newly supported system calls."

Regards,  
Jens
