[Nix-dev] RHEL5 Issues re-visited.

[Jeevakan Suresh]

Hi Guys
 
I don't know if you remember, but a few months ago I asked a question on
the list about nix and RHEL5. The problem is RHEL 'aggressively' patches
their kernel thus making almost any 'standard' version of the kernel
headers horribly incompatible with any RHEL kernel.
 
I got a couple of suggestions (such as downgrading the kernel headers or
my glibc version), but the solution that has been working the best for
me is to use kernel headers as provided by Red Hat themselves.
 
I've been running nix with these headers for the last 3 months or so
without any issues, and I have additions which are down-stream ready. I
was wondering what's the process for getting these in? I'm sure this
would be generally useful for anyone unfortunate enough to be stuck on a
RHEL5 machine :)

Cheers
Jeeva.
