Okay, but (which, I supposed, means "not REALLY okay..." :-) according
to the wiki, and every build I did under 4.4, when building a kernel
we are guided to change the "Local version" in the config file (via
make menuconfig or whatever) and also to change the "release" in the
spec file - both.

Is this no longer true in 5.0/2.6.18?  If so, it's certainly a minor
convenience, but I haven't seen that documented anywhere yet (or did I
miss it?).

Thanks.
