the hack is too dirty as it does not address the "uts" version string and it will still cause to kernel breaking as the version number will suddenly re- appear in the name of the modules directory, very possibly rendering the built kernel useless.
The '+' is created by the script 'scripts/setlocalversion' and if you really want to get rid off it, you need (a) to make the git tree "clean" or (b) to comment out the line 'res="$res${scm:++}"'. Either way, it's not kernel-package's fault. Cheers Carsten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
