The patch titled kbuild: don't ignore localversion files if the path includes a ~ has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is kbuild-dont-ignore-localversion-files-if-the-path-includes-a.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: kbuild: don't ignore localversion files if the path includes a ~ From: Bastian Blank <bastian@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Fix the problem that localversion files were ignored if the tree lives in a path which contains a ~. It changes the test to apply to the filename only. Debian allows versions which contains ~ in it. The upstream part of the version is in the directory name of the build tree and we got weird results because the localversion files was just got ignored in this case.
