When you activate/deactivate packages in menuconfig, it may modify what gets compiled into the kernel, to add/remove support for the various subsystems needed by the packages you build. This will cause the kernel to be rebuilt with a different package number.
If you just rebuild the image without changing anything in menuconfig, I think the kernel package will not be rebuilt. Not sure though, just try and see for yourself :) Baptiste On Wed, Oct 01, 2014 at 03:43:20PM +0530, Nishant Sharma wrote: > Hello members, > > Although, I am compiling and using custom OpenWRT images since 8 months > now, but I am still confused with this particular behaviour.
