Subject[PATCH] Bug in scripts/package/mkspec?
From
Hi all,

I've been building RPMs for the Linux kernel for a while now and only
recently noticed that the RPM Release field is always set to 1.
After a bit of searching I found the offending line in
scripts/package/mkspec. Here is a patch that worked for me, but
perhaps this
could be fixed in better way by someone knowledgeable of the kernel
build process...:


--- ./mkspec.next 2010-11-18 13:08:56.000000000 -0500
+++ mkspec 2010-11-18 13:10:13.000000000 -0500
@@ -29,7 +29,7 @@
echo "Version: $__KERNELRELEASE"
# we need to determine the NEXT version number so that uname and
# rpm -q will agree
-echo "Release: `. $srctree/scripts/mkversion`"
+echo "Release: `cd $srctree && ./scripts/mkversion`"
echo "License: GPL"
echo "Group: System Environment/Kernel"
echo "Vendor: The Linux Community"
