Partly because the kernel's %revision is autogenerated from the CVS revision number of the file, so you can't know it just by reading the file. And partly because no editor I know of is smart enough to figure it out based on the macros. vim's changelog generation, for example, gives me: * Mon Feb 09 2009 Adam Jackson <ajax@xxxxxxxxxx> 2.6.%{upstream_sublevel}-0.%{fedora_build}%{upstream_branch_tag}%{?buildid}%{?dist} Which is not what I'd call "right", thought it could certainly be better and at least fill in the macros it does know. In principle you could come up with something that examines the output of 'make verrel' and tries to guess what the next RCS ID will be. Patches gratefully etc. - ajax
