Linux rpm have a "patch level" indicator in the filename. I am not pushing for the same here. But my RTEMS ports are also hosted at www.oarcorp.com (keepers of RTEMS). They have asked several times if it is possible to include a patch level in the package name. I have come up with some code that adds the patch level ONLY upon request. .if defined(OARCORP) PATCHLEVEL= 2 .if defined(PKG_NOCOMPRESS) PKG_SUFX?= -${PATCHLEVEL}.tar .else PKG_SUFX?= -${PATCHLEVEL}.tgz .endif .endif I add this to my Makefiles. Currently I am working on the newest versions of these ports. Will this code cause it to be shot down? Is there a need for other ports to have similar capabilities?
