Subject: [PATCH] make kernelrelease
Date: Mon, 20 Dec 2004 16:28:15 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041221002815.GD28322@waste.org> (raw)
This patch makes it easy to programmatically get at the kernel
makefile's idea of the kernel version from external scripts and
makefiles with something like V=`make kernelrelease`.
Alternatives include parsing Makefile (errorprone and broken by things
like localversion) and running the C preprocessor on version.h (which
requires a) building version.h somewhere and b) is really ugly).
