Package: kernel-package
Version: 12.014
Severity: minor
(Please forgive me if I say anything stupid -- I'm just a dumb user
who's not quite familiar with the inner workings of kernel building or
make-kpkg.)
The make-kpkg(1) manpage comes with a rather long disclaimer following
the --append-to-version option, about version.h and the need to run make
clean.
Is this section still valid? I ask because its description of what
happens doesn't match my own experience; making clean does not adjust
include/linux/version.h, but deletes it entirely. In fact, whatever I
append never ends up there, but in include/linux/utsrelease.h instead.
It kinda sucks having to make clean when packaging two kernels that
differ only by a patch or a commit. In fact, last time I bisected a
bug, I foolishly ignored these instructions, and everything seemed to
work out fine. Was I asking for trouble?
