	The "Release:" field of the spec file is determined based on the .version file. However, the .version file is not copied to the source tar file. So, when we build the kernel from the source package, the UTS_VERSION always indicates #1. This does not match with "rpm -q". The kernel UTS_VERSION and "rpm -q" do not agree for binrpm-pkg, either. Please note the kernel has already been built before the spec file is created. Currently, mkspec invokes mkversion. This script returns an incremented version. So, the "Release:" field of the spec file is greater than the version in the kernel by one. For the source package build (where .version file is missing), we can give KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION=%{release} to the build command. For the binary package build, we can simply read out the .version file because it contains the version number that was used for building the kernel image. We can remove scripts/mkversion because scripts/package/Makefile need not touch the .version file. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <yamada.masahiro@socionext.com>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+6
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
