[gentoo-user] Append string on Kernel builds
In the first section during a `makeconfig' session, there is a line (the second one) that says: Local Version - append to kernel release I like to use that and put `-$MYHOST' as string. I wondered if there is any way to set a numericly incrementing string. Maybe some trick syntax that can go in that spot?
