Right. This is an artifact of the upstream kernel's "make rpm" target and is cosmetic only. It only manifests itself in the RPM's name. > kernel-2.6.955 should have been kernel-2.6.9-55.EL.... Ideally, yes. > After editing the toplevel Makefile EXTRAVERSION option to underscore > 55 > the final rpm looks like the following: You don't want to do that. You are now altering the actual version of the kernel you are producing. Leaving the dash in there maintains the same versioning that we use. b. _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.clusterfs.com/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
