Where does this .version file belong, and what should the contents be?
I thought that if I just went ahead and ran makesrpm.pl, it would be
obvious, but it's not. After installing all the prerequisite rpms, I get
the following:
WARNING: No release notes provided. Using empty file
WARNING: No changelog provided. Using empty file
/bin/ls: /lib/modules/*/build/include/linux/version.h: No such file or
directory
unable to determine kernel version
sh: line 0: [: =: unary operator expected
/bin/ls: /lib/modules/*/build/include/linux/version.h: No such file or
directory
unable to determine kernel version
Now, this may very well be related to the missing .version, if I can find
out where that shell snippet is, but I'm not sure yet.

I managed to automate setting up a multi-cell environment for testing<br>

I figured that those aren't being put together entirely by hand, so I t=

<br>
there's a makesrpm perl file we ship in src/packaging/RedHat. it takes<=

a few arguments, which include the src and doc tarballs for the<br>
version you want, and will spit out an srpm. you then<br>

Should be noted that the current src tarball for 1.5.77 is missing the .ver=
sion file. Should be obvious after looking at <a href=3D"http://makesrpm.pl=
" target=3D"_blank">makesrpm.pl</a> how this is used. We just extracted the=
src tarball, created the missing .version file, then tar'd it back up.=
<br>
<br>
On a related note: Will there be RPMs provided for 1.5.78 when it's rel=
eased? Many of us that are wanting to help test 1.5 and get experience with=
it don't always have the time to build RPMs ourselves. Even SRPMs woul=
d be helpful.<br>
