Bug#694565: linux-image-3.2.0-4-amd64: uname -a doesn't report build date any more
Package: src:linux
Version: 3.2.32-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I have just made a dist-upgrade on wheezy. And there the Kernel was
updated to 3.2.0-4. But now `uname -a´ doesn't show the build date
of the Kernel any more:
root@fs-host:~# uname -a
Linux fs-host 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.32-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux
root@fs-host:~#
root@fs-host:~# strings /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-{3,4}-amd64 | grep 3.2.0
3.2.0-3-amd64 (unknown@Debian) #1 SMP Mon Jul 23 02:45:17 UTC 2012
3.2.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) #1 SMP Debian 3.2.32-1
root@fs-host:~#
In the previous Kernel (3.2.0-3) the build date was still included.
The build date is -- at least for me -- a quite important information
of the Kernel! In my oppinion this should be included again in future.
Best regards,
