From 3f1d9a6cec011b0a25a5dff5d9e5012a459ef02f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Marek Date: Fri, 11 Jul 2014 15:57:24 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] kbuild: make -s should be used with kernelrelease/kernelversion/image_name If .config has been edited, there will be a silentoldconfig run: $ make defconfig ... $ make kernelrelease scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig 3.16.0-rc1+ Recently, kbuild started to print the name of the build directory when using O= $ make O=build kernelrelease make[1]: Entering directory `/dev/shm/mmarek/linux-2.6/build' 3.16.0-rc1+ Since these targets are often used in scripts, add a hint to use make -s to the help text.
