setlocalversion will use 'hg id' to determine whether or not the current revision is tagged. If there is no tag, the Mercurial revision is printed, otherwise nothing is printed. The problem is that the user may have custom configuration settings (in their ~/.hgrc file or similar) that changes the output of 'hg id' in a way that the script does not expect. In such cases, the Mercurial revision may not be printed or printed incorrectly. It is good practice to ignore the user environment when calling Mercurial commands from a well-defined script, by setting the environment variable HGRCPATH to the empty string. See also 'hg help environment'. In the particular case of Nokia, a custom extension adds dynamic tags in the repository, i.e. tags that are stored in a file external to the repository and only visible when the extension is active. These tags should not influence the behavior of setlocalversion as they are not official Buildroot tags, i.e. even if a revision is tagged, the Mercurial revision should still be printed. Note that this still does not solve the problem where an organization adds _real_ tags in their Buildroot repository. For example, there might be a moving tag 'last-validated' or tags indicating in which product release that Buildroot revision was used. In these cases, setlocalversion will still not behave as expected, i.e. show the Mercurial revision.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
