> ... please just turn on CONFIG_LOCALCONFIG_AUTO
For git-tree-based builds, I'm delighted with CONFIG_LOCALCONFIG_AUTO.
But on my build engine, I don't need or want the exact commit id.
(I have a descriptive originating branch name for it already,
and that is a heck of a lot easier to understand)
Indeed SUBLEVEL and EXTRAVERSION in the Makefile turn out to be
just about ideal both for good .config file library re-use,
and with double buffering, storing of results.
So if the -rc* EXTRAVERSION naming scheme were applied consistently
so that it could differentiate between a final release and
the following merge window, then SUBLEVEL and EXTRAVERSION
would be all I need on my build box.
Re: scripts to generate .scmversion
I'll pass.
I'd rather a script to simply update SUBLEVEL and EXTRAVERSION
in the Makefile upon seeing the 1st commit of the merge window.
I was hoping you'd do that for me, but failing that,
I can do it for myself. Just don't jump on me when I call
the merge window rc0.
thanks,
