kbuild: In setlocalversion change -git_dirty to just -dirty

2006-01-08T17:44:01Z

When building Debian packages directly from the git tree, the appended "git_dirty" is a problem due to the underscore. In order to cause the least problems, change that just to "dirty". Signed-off-by: Ryan Anderson Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

kbuild: Use git in scripts/setlocalversion

2006-01-06T19:46:21Z

Currently scripts/setlocalversion is a Perl script that tries to figure out the current git commit ID of a repo without using git. It also imports Digest::MD5 without using it and generally is too big for the small task it does. :] And it always reports a git ID, even when the HEAD is tagged -- this is a bug. This patch replaces it with a Bourne Shell script that uses git commands to do the same. I can't come up with a scenario where someone would use a git repo and refuse to install git core at the same time, so I think it's reasonable to assume git is available. The new script also reports uncommitted changes by adding -git_dirty to the version string. Obviously you can't see from that _what_ has been changed from the last commit, so it's more of a reminder that you forgot to commit something. The script is easily extensible: simply add a check for Mercurial (or whatever) below the git check. Note: the script doesn't print a newline char anymore. That's only because it was easier to implement it that way, not a feature (or bug). 'make kernelrelease' doesn't care. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe Acked-by: Ryan Anderson Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg

[PATCH] kbuild: automatically append a short string to the version based upon the git commit

2005-08-10T19:11:23Z

If CONFIG_AUTO_LOCALVERSION is set, the user is using a git-based tree, and the current HEAD is not referred to by any tags in .git/refs/tags/, append -g and the first 8 characters of the commit to the version string. This makes it easier to use git-bisect, and/or to do a daily build, without trampling on your older, working builds, or accidentally setting up conflicting sets of modules.
