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 $KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP. --- a/scripts/mkcompile_h +++ b/scripts/mkcompile_h @@ -37,10 +37,14 @@ else VERSION=$KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION fi -if [ -z "$KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP" ]; then - TIMESTAMP=`date` +if [ -z "$KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION_TIMESTAMP" ]; then + if [ -z "$KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP" ]; then + TIMESTAMP=`date` + else + TIMESTAMP=$KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP + fi else - TIMESTAMP=$KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP + TIMESTAMP=$KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION_TIMESTAMP fi if test -z "$KBUILD_BUILD_USER"; then LINUX_COMPILE_BY=$(whoami | sed 's/\\/\\\\/')
