Why is version name in "About" in the GUI not showing "...~precise" when doing manual builds?

Added by Crazy Fin over 10 years ago

I have noticed that when I do upgrades via the Update Center in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on my installed TVHeadend setup I get the full version info in the web gui under "About" where I for example see "3.9.967~gd924c84~precise".

However, when I do manual builds when doing testing of different versions I do (all done as root and in the TVHeadend directory ./tvheadend):

1. git checkout <hash code of the version> (from the TVHeadend dir)

2. ./configure

3. make

4. and then I run with command ./build.linux/tvheadend -c testconf -l tvh.log --debug all (if needed, as well as trace debug if needed.).

However, now when running a manual built version I see only 3.9.967~gd924c84 with out the "~precise" in the version info.

Am I doing something wrong when doing the manual build?
