glibc: bump the minimum kernel version #202827
Conversation
I don't think anyone sane is really using kernel < 3.10 nowadays. (At least in a use case with glibc from nixpkgs.) As another suspect with old kernels, Ubuntu seems to start at 3.13 now.

Fine by me, but I'd like to await a response from @veprbl first :)
Part of this was done in PR #188492, but I think this is worth a separate PR. It's quite an unrelated question to discuss, and much simpler to decide and merge (no packages should be affected). I waited until after 22.11 got forked off, so that also gives some buffer to any stragglers on old systems. |
Yep, but the PR in question is quite far from being mergable, so whoever's interested in that for whatever reason would have a lot of time to respond in that case ;-)
Yeah, if we get no response soonish, I'd be fine with merging, just wanted to point out that we should perhaps wait for a bit :) |

Not sure what is wrong with the patches for RHEL6 kernel support, but I think it's fine to remove them now.
I'm not aware of anything wrong. Just that RHEL 6 seemed not relevant anymore, and that's why I thought it possible to do this cleanup and raise kernel versions (RHEL 6 has heavily patched 2.6.32 kernel). |
