Re: [PATCH] Show patchlevel in version string



Hi,

JFTR: That's not completely correct. Only "5.8-6" is the patch level.
"+b2" is the build counter for binary packages rebuilt from the same
source code against usually newer build-dependencies. (And "debian/"
is just the tag prefix in git, but there are never build counts like
"+b2" present in git tags in Debian.)

		Kind regards, Axel (with his Debian hat on :-)
