While being total unaware of boot/kernel/[boot/kernel:x]/extraversion, I |
2 |
started trying to get genkernel and catalyst to support |
3 |
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION. |

|
5 |
I managed to get it working in genkernel, but since catalyst calculates |
6 |
the kernel name on it's own, after the genkernel build, when catalyst |
7 |
tries to package stuff up, problems ensue. |

While looking through the catalyst source, I happened upon |
10 |
'extraversion', and gave it a shot. My kernels compiled just fine, but |
11 |
the 'extraversion' did not appear to get appended onto the end of the |
12 |
existing extra version defined in the kernel makefile. This has the |
13 |
unfortunate result of having all the modules from both kernel builds in |
14 |
the same /lib/modules/ directory, which was my original motivation for |
15 |
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION support. |
16 |
|
17 |
Would it be worthwhile to complete my work, get catalyst to support |
18 |
CONFIG_LOCALVERSION? |
