There are also those who use git, but turn CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO off for a reason, because it just annoys them with zero gain. I don't do -rcX. I have one tree per installed kernel. When Linus pulls a release out of the oven, on that day, Makefile becomes rev++ for a new tree and stays that way until he declares the next one baked. Old tree stays frozen at rev until it becomes .stable. My repos are always frozen at where the installed kernel is at, so adding an extra version is just a work generating irritant. I'd like having git ID embedded in the kernel for idiot proofing, but I don't like it polluting my installs, so I live without it. -Mike -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
