Alan (& etc.),
I really like the 'make rpm' target. However, I noticed a couple of bugs
with it.
1) 'uname' and rpm -q kernel did not agree on the build number. (uname was 1
greater than the rpm build number.)
2) IIRC, the build number incremented by 2 for each 'make rpm'. (If I'm
mistaken, please overlook. ;) )
3) The symlink and tarball were left over, which also yielded a 'linux -> .'
symlink on later builds.
4) Those of us who use CVS would rather not tar up the CVS directories.
So, here is a patch (makerpm-6.patch, attached) to address those issues.
Also, the order of commands in the Makefile is intended to maximize the
amount of clean up done if the build is prematurely aborted. If the 'rpm'
command is stopped for whatever reason, the .version will still be updated.
It is against 2.4.8-ac7 since that is what I have on hand, but I expect it to
apply cleanly to the latest -ac. Let me know if you need it re-diff'ed for
2.4.9-acx.
