Append Localversion to Kernel String

[Marco Gross <mgross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello folks,

 

I’m trying to automatically append version information to my kernel’s version string.

Therefore, I have in my .config following option:

 

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y

 

Additionally, following is set:

 

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION=”++”

 

The output that is expected is said to be the first eight characters of the output of ‘git rev-parse --verify HEAD’.

The output in my kernel directory is:

 

$ git rev-parse --verify HEAD

c8d2bc9bc39ebea8437fd974fdbc21847bb897a3

 

After installing the kernel the name of the kernel is as follows:

 

vmlinuz-4.8.0++

 

I expected:

 

vmlinuz-4.8.0++-gc8d2bc9b

 

My question: Where is the version string that I expected?

 

Marco

 

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
