Hm strange. You said you have the kernel source, right? Can you show us about ten top lines of the Makefile in the main kernel source directory?
I am suspecting there is "+" character in the extraversion..but that needs to be checked....
No, it just means you have a "modified" kernel tree, that is not reall 2.6.37, you have changed it somehow. The build system asks git about this when building the kernel.
you sure? i thought that if it was a modified working tree, you'd get the "-dirty" qualifier added, not just a "+".
Try it and see :)
From what I can tell, the '+' means you are building source which includes upstream commits after the last tag in the tree
So the current top-of-tree is 3.2.0+ because there are commits after the 3.2.0 tag
As I understand it, if you have commits which are not in the upstream repository (or uncommitted changes) you get the 'dirty' flag
ok, that sounds about right. i should probably review that whole versioning thing again. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P. J.
