Hi!
Can anyone tell me how to get useful information from
make dist-get-latest?
I've tried putting various strings in ./localversion, leaving it empty
or even removing it entirely.
When I do
make dist-get-latest
I end up with messages like this:
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/bcrocker/Work/kernel-ark/redhat'
BUILDID is "bcrocker". Update
'/home/bcrocker/Work/kernel-ark/localversion'
to change.
2020-12-09 11:29:35,559 [ERROR] koji: GenericError: No such entry in table
tag: rhel-8.99.0-candidate
The latest kernel package tag is .
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/bcrocker/Work/kernel-ark/redhat'
no matter what I put in ./localversion (e.g. rhel-8.4).
So can anyone give me some examples of localversion contents that do
NOT lead to errors?
According to 'make dist-full-help'
dist-get-latest - Returns the latest "known good" kernel from brew. This
should not be confused with the latest top-of-tree
development tag.
the command communicates with brew/koji to get the latest known version of
the kernel using the provided buildroot. Localversion isn't invovled here.
Instead the 'flaw' is the temporary buildroot tag: rhel-8.99.0-candidate
does not exist in brew. That is hardcoded in the redhat/Makefile.
It will become useful when we fork for Stream/RHEL-9.
I would prefer you leave it for now.
Cheers,
Don
