Subject: [PATCH] read EXTRAVERSION from file
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2004 17:14:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040830151405.GA18836@lst.de> (raw)
The're an very interesting patch in the Debian tree still from the time
where Herbert Xu mentioned it, it allows creating a file .extraversion
in the toplevel kernel directory and the Makefile will set EXTRAVERSION
to it's contents. This has the nice advantage of keeping an
extraversion pre-tree instead of having to patch the Makefile and
getting rejects everytime you pull a new tree (or BK refuses to touch
the Makefile).
The only thing I'm not fully comfortable is the .extraversion name, I
think I'd prefer a user-visible name.
Any other comments on this one?
