kernel version build number in .deb to low by 1. [REGRESSION][BISECTED]
Hi,
For my kernel compiles the build number included in resulting .deb files is too low by 1. Example:
$ uname -a Linux s15 4.19.0-rc1-stock #488 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 27 12:09:05 PDT 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Observe build number 488 (this is the correct build number, or so I think).
$ dpkg -l | grep 4.19.0-rc1 ii linux-headers-4.19.0-rc1-stock 4.19.0-rc1-stock-487 amd64 Linux kernel headers for 4.19.0-rc1-stock on amd64 ii linux-image-4.19.0-rc1-stock 4.19.0-rc1-stock-487 amd64 Linux kernel, version 4.19.0-rc1-stock
$ ls -l ../*4.19.0-rc1* -rw-rw-r-- 1 doug doug 1907 Aug 27 12:18 ../linux-4.19.0-rc1-stock_4.19.0-rc1-stock-487_amd64.changes -rw-r--r-- 1 doug doug 11484822 Aug 27 12:16 ../linux-headers-4.19.0-rc1-stock_4.19.0-rc1-stock-487_amd64.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 doug doug 54224118 Aug 27 12:18 ../linux-image-4.19.0-rc1-stock_4.19.0-rc1-stock-487_amd64.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 doug doug 1019908 Aug 27 12:16 ../linux-libc-dev_4.19.0-rc1-stock-487_amd64.deb
Observe build number 487.
I bisected the kernel, and the result was:
b41d920acff8305b8a25a183a8e4d41b8975097d is the first bad commit commit b41d920acff8305b8a25a183a8e4d41b8975097d

kbuild: deb-pkg: split generating packaging and build
Move debian/ directory generation out of builddeb to a new script, mkdebian. The package build commands are kept in builddeb, which is now an internal command called from debian/rules.
With these changes in place, we can now use dpkg-buildpackage from deb-pkg and bindeb-pkg removing need for handrolled source/changes generation.
This patch is based on the criticism of the current state of builddeb discussed on:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9656403/
I am not familiar with this stuff and was not able to figure out a solution to propose a patch to correct it.
In case it is relevant, my compile command was:
time make -j9 olddefconfig bindeb-pkg LOCALVERSION=-stock
