From: Ben Hutchings Subject: Make mkcompile_h accept an alternate timestamp string Date: Tue, 12 May 2015 19:29:22 +0100 Forwarded: not-needed We want to include the Debian version in the utsname::version string instead of a full timestamp string. However, we still need to provide a standard timestamp string for gen_initramfs_list.sh to make the kernel image reproducible. Make mkcompile_h use $KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION_TIMESTAMP in preference to $KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP.
