Subject: make rpm-pkg and version mismatch
Date: Tue, 3 May 2011 14:27:06 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110503212706.GA26044@dev1756.snc6.facebook.com> (raw)
make rpm-pkg produces files that look like: kernel-2.6.39rc5-2.x86_64.rpm
However, uname -r produces 2.6.39rc5 (-2 is missing).
This differs from how some of the distributors are packaging the kernel.
Their setup includes %{release} in uname -r.
One way to achive that is:
--- a/scripts/setlocalversion
+++ b/scripts/setlocalversion

But then, I have to go back and remove the %{release} in a number of
places:
--- a/scripts/package/mkspec
+++ b/scripts/package/mkspec

# we need to determine the NEXT version number so that uname and
# rpm -q will agree
echo "Release: `. $srctree/scripts/mkversion`"
Rinse and repeat in all other places that refer to KERNELRELEASE
but want KERNELVERSION.
Is there a simpler way to do this?
