[PATCH] override build timestamp

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Pass a timestamp to kbuild via an enviroment variable.

    TZ=UTC BUILD_TIMESTAMP=2007-01-01 make -kj O=../O vmlinux

This can be used when the kernel source is in a SCM and uname -v
is supposed to give the commit date and not the package build time.
