This is to overrule the standard _package_ version. I use it for example to automatically create a series of versioned packages during bisection based on .git/BISECT_LOG: linux-2.6.29_1_amd64.deb linux-2.6.29_2_amd64.deb linux-2.6.29_3_amd64.deb linux-2.6.29_4_amd64.deb ... For "normal" packages I use package versions based on 'git describe'. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kbuild" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
