1 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.
4
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.
8
9 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?
