Hi all,
The NixOS machines in the Hydra build farm have been upgraded from Linux 2.6.35
to 3.2.14. This shouldn't affect Nix builds, because Nix uses the personality()
syscall [1] to make builds think they're running on a 2.6 system.
Let me know if you encounter any problems because of this change.
Eelco.
