[PATCH] kbuild: deb-pkg: don't set KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION indiscriminately
From: Alexandru Gagniuc
Date: Wed Mar 05 2025 - 14:27:53 EST
In ThinPro, we use the convention <upstream_ver>+hp<patchlevel> for
the kernel package. This does not have a dash in the name or version.
This is built by editing ".version" before a build, and setting
EXTRAVERSION="+hp" and KDEB_PKGVERSION make variables:
echo 68 > .version
make -j<n> EXTRAVERSION="+hp" bindeb-pkg KDEB_PKGVERSION=6.6.6+hp69
.deb name: linux-image-6.6.6+hp_6.6.6+hp69_amd64.deb
Since commit 7d4f07d5cb71 ("kbuild: deb-pkg: squash
scripts/package/deb-build-option to debian/rules"), this no longer
works. The deb build logic changed, even though, the commit message
implies that the logic should be unmodified.
Before, KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION was not set if the KDEB_PKGVERSION did
not contain a dash. After the change KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION is always
set to KDEB_PKGVERSION. Since this determines UTS_VERSION,the uname
output to look off:
(now) uname -a: version 6.6.6+hp ... #6.6.6+hp69
(expected) uname -a: version 6.6.6+hp ... #69
Update the debian/rules logic to restore the original behavior.
