[ptxdist] Kernel serial number

[ptxdist] Kernel serial number

[Wim Vinckier]

Hi,

I'm wondering what I have to do to set my kernel version to the
current date.  When I compile the kernel outside ptx it has the
current date with even the git hash but that doesn't seem to work when
compiling my kernel within ptx. Any suggestion?

Kind regards,

wim.

You mean the build timestamp, right? That's deliberate to keep the
differences of two builds with any BSP changes as small as possible. See
rules/kernel.make:
[...]
	KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP="$(PTXDIST_VERSION_YEAR)-$(PTXDIST_VERSION_MONTH)-01"
[...]

This is currently not configurable.

Yes, that's the one I was referring to. Good to know there is a place
where I can find it. :-D
