I actually mean the upstream version, not the actual version of the
resulting Debian package. When one uses make-kpkg --append=-foo
--revision=2.6.31.4.20091013.0, one gets, for example, a
linux-image-2.6.31.4-foo_2.6.31.4.20091013.0_i386.deb of a kernel
which actually returns 2.6.31.4-foo as answer to uname -r. This is
important if one wants to have different kernel flavours including
their own module directory.
The equivalent to --revision is KDEB_PKGVERSION, but I haven't yet
found a way to emulate --append, since this probably needs
modification to the upstream version number ending up in
include/linux/utsrelease.h. Is there a variable for this as well, or
is the official way to do so parsing EXTRAVERSION from the top-level
Makefile and make all EXTRAVERSION=$EXTRAVERSION-foo?
Greetings
Marc
