Hello, I've build a kernel based on SVN checkout of head and compiled/installed the kernel with: # cd /usr # rm -rf src # svn co svn://.... # cd /usr/src # make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC # make installkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC # shutdown -r now the booting kernel says: $ uname -a FreeBSD vm-azul.Sisis.de 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #0 r197801: Mon Oct 12 13:33:32 CEST 2009 guru@vm-azul.Sisis.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 i.e. does contain the SVN rev. number r197801, so far so good: when I now move the /usr/src to some other machine with: # cd /usr # tar cf src.tar src ... # cd /usr # rm -rf src # tar --unlink -xpf src.tar and build the kernel there exact the same way as on the originating machine, the output of 'uname -a' does not contain the SVN revision number. Any idea why is that?
