Dear All:

I have a tree that existed for a few years (a clone of Linus' tree).
Today I did a git pull in it, and a plus appeared in the built version.
E.g. after "make modules_install":

[root@niphredil linux-2.6-tip]# ls /lib/modules/
2.6.33.1-19.fc13.x86_64  2.6.34-rc6-tip                    2.6.35-rc1-tip
2.6.34-43.fc14.x86_64    2.6.35-0.36.rc4.git5.fc14.x86_64  2.6.35-rc5-tip+
[root@niphredil linux-2.6-tip]# 

How do I get rid of the plus? I have (had for a long time):

[zaitcev@niphredil linux-2.6-tip]$ grep LOCAL .config
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-tip"
# CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO is not set
CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y
[zaitcev@niphredil linux-2.6-tip]$ 

Thanks,
-- Pete

Is the '+' listed at the top of the toplevel Makefile?

It's being put there by Kbuild, this has been discussed quite a bit
over the past few weeks I think.

The "+" comes from scripts/setlocalversion

I suspected something like that, but finding the relevant discussion
afterwards is different.

Right, found that quickly, but the question is what the authors' intent was.
I cannot tell from the code. Folks at #kernel seem to think the plus means
"built from a tarball", in which case this is a bug (the kernel was built
from a cloned tree).

I can easily add '+' to the list of filename characters in my terminal,
just thought to ask in case it's a bug.

I initially added the `+' to the version string in 85a256d8 during this 
release cycle.  As the changelog indicates, it means that your tree is 
beyond a tagged commit and LOCALVERSION= was not passed on the command 
line so the tree must be described as a modified 2.6.35-rc5 kernel, for 
example, instead of vanilla.  That's the semantics that the `+' indicates.

I'm soon on a long trip, has anybody fixed it already?

Otherwise I'm having a look at it.

Cheers,

Nico
