But on my build engine, I don't need or want the exact commit id. (I have a descriptive originating branch name for it already, and that is a heck of a lot easier to understand) Indeed SUBLEVEL and EXTRAVERSION in the Makefile turn out to be just about ideal both for good .config file library re-use, and with double buffering, storing of results. So if the -rc* EXTRAVERSION naming scheme were applied consistently so that it could differentiate between a final release and the following merge window, then SUBLEVEL and EXTRAVERSION would be all I need on my build box. Re: scripts to generate .scmversion I'll pass. I'd rather a script to simply update SUBLEVEL and EXTRAVERSION in the Makefile upon seeing the 1st commit of the merge window. I was hoping you'd do that for me, but failing that, I can do it for myself. Just don't jump on me when I call the merge window rc0. thanks, -Len -- 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/
