Because it's 'version' 2.4.18-preX. But that's not what you wanted. You want v2.4.X_linuxppc_2_4_devel. Unfortunatly, I think these particular tags only go back as far as 2.4.19, and possibly only 2.4.20. Adding back-tags is on my todo list, but not very high. What you'll want to do is 'bk changes -e' and look for when v2.4.18-pre3 was merged into linuxppc_2_4, and then when that was merged into linuxppc_2_4_devel -- Tom Rini http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/
