OK, I don't consider that an acceptable solution, as it could interfere with other build systems. However, as soon as I posted this message, I found a better solution, namely setting LOCALVERSION= in the environment (both for the normal user and for root). This is less likely to have unexpected effects, since the environment variables don't override the variables explicitly set in makefiles. > Yes, because the kernel you've produced is no longer 3.1.0-rc2, it is > modified.

OK, I have an acceptable solution for my needs now, and if others need it, hopefully they would find this post. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
