Comment 25 for bug 1745342

To build these kernels, I use a script called mainline-build-one, which is in the kteam-tools repository[0].

The script comes up with the name of the .deb by using the date and the git command 'git describe SHA1'. So in the case of the last commit tested:

git describe fdd050b5b3c96813ae6756ed68157d32ba31b9f2
v4.12-rc5-66-gfdd050b

If the script used '--contains' with git describe, it would report the actual kernel version that contains that commit, for example:

git describe --contains fdd050b5b3c96813ae6756ed68157d32ba31b9f2
v4.13-rc1~70^2~67^2~42
