Hi,
When I'm building my kernels, I used to tag my personal releases with a
similar annotated tag commit as with vanilla kernel, just appending
"-tv" or similar to it, i.e. "v6.3-rc4" becomes "v6.3-rc4-tv".
This has worked just fine so far, but...
Since commit 6ab7e1f95e96f0c688ae132b0e9a16c0f206689d ("setlocalversion:
use only the correct release tag for git-describe"), this is not taken
into account anymore, it uses the "git describe" tag instead of using
the actually tagged commit as "kernelrelease".
Is there a way to restore the previous behaviour without having to
revert this (and preceding) commits?
I know that we can disable CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y and append
directly to CONFIG_LOCALVERSION, but maybe someone knows how to use the
"old" way of using tags...?
In other words, when I have a local tag, I want "kernelrelease" to use
just that tag, and when I don't tag anything, it should just use the
standard "git describe" tag.
For the moment I have just reverted the related commits as they don't
serve any purpose for my needs.
Cheers,
Tor Vic
