I have kernel configuration files (e.g., a custom GENERIC) under RCS. For example: ============== # $Revision: 1.1$ cpu HAMMER ident GENERIC ============== I want to add that "1.1" to the end of GENERIC such that it becomes: ============== # $Revision: 1.1$ cpu HAMMER ident GENERIC-1.1 ============= Therefore, a uname -i becomes: btw> uname -i GENERIC-1.1 My goal is to provide a mechanism where I can identify that kernels built on a group of machines are running the same kernel built from a configuration under RCS. How can I customized the current config and build mechanisms to accomplish this? Is there some other way to accomplish this? Is it a dumb idea?
