include/linux/version.h

[Stefan J. Betz]

Hello People,

i have found some wrong thing in include/linux/version.h
On my System i have Kernel 2.6.0-test10 & 2.6.0-test11, but in
include/linux/version.h i see:
#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.0-test9"

correct where:
#definde UTS_RELEASE "2.6.0-test11" (for Linux Kernel 2.6.0-test11)...

Here is a little "patch":

diff -Nru linux-2.6.0-test11/include/linux/version.h linux-2.6.0-test11-fixed/include/linux/version.h
--- linux-2.6.0-test11/include/linux/version.h	Tue Dec  2 19:21:22 2003
+++ linux-2.6.0-test11-fixed/include/linux/version.h	Tue Dec  2 19:22:06 2003
@@ -1,3 +1,3 @@
-#define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.0-test9"

 #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132608
 #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))

I know that this is not a very usefull fix, but i think 2.6.0 should be
BugFree (TM) :-)

Greeting Betz Stefan

I know that my english is not realy good, but any tipp how i can learn
better english is welcome...

Humm, where did you get your srcs from? include/linux/version.h reads 
2.6.0-test11 here...

An occasional miss-spelled word (tipp is really spelled tip) doesn't 
break our comprehension, do carry on.

include/linux/version.h isn't provided in the kernel tarball. It is
created when you build something. Ej: do a "make distclean", then:

diego@estel:~/kernel/unsta$ cat include/linux/version.h 
cat: include/linux/version.h: No such file or directory

Hm, I think that file is automatically generated at compile-time,
isn't it?
Are you sure, you grepped through the correct tree? Or is this
an old one, that was sitting in some dusty corner on your disk?

Oh... Ups...

Why i have never readed that a simple "make distclean" does make such
things :-(

I have now maked a "make distclean", and now all is correct...

Sorry for consuming our time...

Thanks for all...
