| H A D | Makefile | diff cb58455c Mon Jan 09 13:20:34 MST 2006 Sam Ravnborg <sam@mars.ravnborg.org> kbuild: KERNELRELEASE is only re-defined when buiding the kernel To avoid running setlocalversion as root no longer (re-)define KERNELRELEASE for each run. With this patch KERNELRELEASE is only re-read when we do an actual kernel build. Rationale behind this is "do as little as possible" when executing make install - as root! A new file named .kernelrelease is strored in the root of the kernel tree containing the actual version string. So when we use do a kernel build the .kernelrelease file will be updated. But in all other situations it is left as-is. To make it more visible the kernel now prints out the version being build. Sample: Building kernel 2.6.15-g63b794bf-dirty ... ... The patch also un-exports VERSION PATCHLEVEL SUBLEVEL EXTRAVERSION LOCALVERSION since all users of these are anyway broken - and none is left in the tree.
