Please be so kind as to BCC copy me in on any reply to this inquiry. Thanks in advance. ***** I have had a recent experience in using the "EXTRAVERSION" in the Linux 2.2.x Kernel series. The context of my question applies to both the 2.2.x and 2.4.x Linux Kernels. The questions are: 1) Is there a specification that states the maximum length that the "EXTRAVERSION" string may be? 2) Does the Kernel make/build process enforce any specified limit of (1) above? 3) If (1) exists, where might it be documented? I have tried to find out, but with no success thus far. 4) Is anyone aware that there may be some differences in what is supported by or works with the Kernel and the programs that support the Linux Kernel?

My appologies in advance for the jumbled eMail address and request to BCC me, but SPAM has become a very serious problem. The eMail address in my header information is not a valid eMail address for me. I needed to use a valid domain due to ISP SMTP screen rules. --=_jive-19913-1023347383-0001-2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAjz/CrMACgkQsrsjS27q9xbE9QCggvDCM4QhxbUzKJN72NPrOhal AHgAoJWnBWzyGEaLsRZXL3NHc0xa8m8Z =s2VR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=_jive-19913-1023347383-0001-2-- - 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/
