Re: You knew it was coming: kernel build issues after kmod upgrade

When I edit depmod.sh either with

sed -i '2iexit 0' scripts/depmod.sh

or with

sed -i '/^depmod_hack_needed/ s/true/false/' scripts/depmod.sh

`make kernelrelease` always adds 'dirty' to the name of my kernel.
How can I avoid this?

@aya: or you could jut commit the change before you compile. It will get rid of the -dirty, but might not be what you want.
