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 Grüßen / Best regards

The '+' character is appended when the contents of your git repository have been modified, but not committed.

You want to either commit the changes you have made, and rebuild the kernel, or undo the changes to restore the original state of the tree.

Hope this helps.
