Hi Guys, This question might be very easy for all of you. But seem this is kernelnewbies mailing list. I need to ask this question.
I in the middle of learning to build custom kernel and my question is how to have custom name for kernel version. $ uname -r I can see custom kernel print message. >From what I read, we can change inside .config CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-ARCH" will produce the kernel release naming something like this. 3.16.0-rc3-ARCH But somehow, when I try to install the modules $make modules_install I can see makefile create folder inside the lib/modules with naming 3.16.0-rc3-ARCH-00570-g110e430 110e430 is actually commit id and I check that naming is generated by #define UTS_RELEASE "3.16.0-rc3-ARCH-00570-g110e430" in the "include/generated/utsrelease.h" header which will overwrite "include/config/kernel.release". Back to the question, what is the practical way to naming the kernel release for custom kernel? with additional question for understanding more from where that utsrelease came from?
