Package: kernel-package Version: 11.001 Severity: normal Hey,
when fiddling around with version numbers for my kernels (while debuggind #423721) I noticed that the local version doesn't properly get set when .config is out of date. When, for example, running "make-kpkg debian", minimal.mk will call misc/version_vars.mk for finding the kernel version. This in turn will use the debian_LOCALVERSION target in kernel_version.mk for finding the local version. Since the local version is dependent on the used configuration (for CONFIG_LOCAL_VERSION[_AUTO]) it will (I think, probably indirectly) call "make config" from the normal kernel Makefile (It will output my entire kernel configuration at least). When my configuration is from a previous kernel version (ie, I didn't run make oldconfig yet) the "make config" will hang halfway through when it finds a new config option). So, it does not output the local version as it should. Since the configuration is out of date, it is not illogical that things break, but it would be nicer to check the configuration first and issue a warning? Gr.
