[solved] kernel version when building inside git tree

BlackIkeEagle · 2010-08-23 06:10:49

i keep my pkgbuilds versioned, and moved from svn to git,

since then i have problems with the versioning of the kernel
if i run $(make kernelrelease), now i get 2.6.35-SLK+ in stead of 2.6.35-SLK

so since the move to git i have a 'plus' added

someone some idea how or where to fix it,

i found several locations where the localversion is set, but if i change them manually it doesnt work

I've got a workaround for it, look at the PKGBUILD for kernel26-ice (kernel26-rt-ice has an older hack but that stopped working on the 2.6.35 series). Basically I modify setlocalversion itself.

Set CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO to 'no'

@ngonee :: its not exactly what i expected because now the output is:
$ make kernelrelease
2.6.35

@fukawi2 :: tried that before but then you get the 'plus', else you get 2.6.35-SLK-(somehash)

@ngonee :: thanx for pointing out where to look, now i have found a simple solution i think:

echo "" > ${srcdir}/linux-${_basekernel}/.scmversion

Just noticed this too, with a 2.6.35.2 build. I fixed it by setting CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=n and passing "LOCALVERSION=" to make.

summary:

thanks to all

- solution 1: tested and ok

echo "" > ${srcdir}/linux-${_basekernel}/.scmversion

- solution 2: tested and ok

change CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO to n ( explicit don't leave it as not set )
and add LOCALVERSION= to make

- solution 3: tried but in my config CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO was commented ( is not set ) and i didnt get the correct result

was: during test so maybe not the correct way
sed 's/head=$(git rev-parse --verify --short HEAD 2>\/dev\/null)/0/' \
${srcdir}/linux-$pkgver/scripts/setlocalversion \
> ${srcdir}/linux-$pkgver/scripts/setlocalversion

Nicky726 states in the kernel26-ice comments that following should work:
sed -i -e "s/head=\`git rev-parse --verify --short HEAD 2>\/dev\/null\`/0/" \
${srcdir}/linux-${_basekernel}/scripts/setlocalversion

personally i think the .scmversion thingy is the easiest

I have a similar problem here. This is my PKGBUILD:
http://pastebin.com/PyZXtGuF
Tried adding a "n" to localversion auto in config, but it still does the 2.6.35-zen2-am instead of 2.6.35-am (am being my custom name).
It adds zen2 cause of the patch?

Nvm, guys, solved it by adding this line:

sed -i 's|^EXTRAVERSION = .*$|EXTRAVERSION =|g' Makefile

Now I'm happy, I got a kernel I can maintain when I want, and learn new things! Cheers!
