Description Hindrik Hettema 2003-09-20 23:25:30 UTC

The nvidia-kernel ebuild scripts use /usr/src/linux to find the version number.
I have several versions of kernels compiled, and when emerging for the latest
I always have to switch the link in /usr/src.

To my opinion, a better way to find the version number is to usa the "uname -r"
command.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nvidia-kernel


Actual Results:  
uses /usr/src/linux to find version number

Expected Results:  
use "uname -r" to find version number
