Append Localversion to Kernel String

[Marco Gross]

Hello folks,

I'm trying to automatically append version information to my kernel's version string.
Therefore, I have in my .config following option:

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y

Additionally, following is set:

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="++"

The output that is expected is said to be the first eight characters of the output of 'git rev-parse --verify HEAD'.
The output in my kernel directory is:

$ git rev-parse --verify HEAD
c8d2bc9bc39ebea8437fd974fdbc21847bb897a3

After installing the kernel the name of the kernel is as follows:

vmlinuz-4.8.0++

I expected:

vmlinuz-4.8.0++-gc8d2bc9b

My question: Where is the version string that I expected?

Marco




Mit freundlichen Gr??en / Best regards
