Just for you own info in case you ever want to do it.... not that |
| 15 |
wasn't why it didn't work. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
The first echo could be just about anything and the dashes are |
| 18 |
insignificant too. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
I haven't figured out what I did wrong... but a third try at |
| 21 |
it.. has worked as advertised.... so Neils advice is right on the |
| 22 |
money. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
So what happens is localversion1 is combined with localversion2. And |
| 25 |
since localversion2 is a symlink to .version... it gets incremented |
| 26 |
with each build.... assuming no `make mrproper or distclean' is run. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
One thing I did notice though is that the naming only happens during |
| 29 |
`make modules_install' or `make install' |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
a find on filename searching for localversion1 contents fails after |
| 32 |
running `make' is completed. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
echo "_rdr_" > localversion1 |
| 35 |
then after make.... |
| 36 |
find . -name '*_rdr_*' will fail. |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
I had assumed some naming would happen during make... but it doesn't. |
