Dear maintainers,
I have been asked to modify some kernel modules of a specific kernel, installed
default with Ubuntu 14.04.2, that is, 3.13.0-33-generic.
If I download the kernel through apt-get source 3.13.0-33-generic, then the
kernel release is 3.13.11-ckt39, not as one would expect 3.13.0-33-generic.
You are getting confused by the Makefile version (which shows what upstream
stable version is the base for the kernel) and the package version.
The package version for the source package is found in the changelog file which
(also slightly different to normal Debian packaging) is located in
debian.master.
The version in the changelog will be 3.13.0-x.y wjere x is the abi number (for
example 33) and y is the upload number which you see as #y in uname -a.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel should have more info.

Thanks Stefan,
That makes more sense to me than what I have found so far. But if I need
to compile a kernel module for the 3.13.0-33-generic kernel image, then
I assume I have to change the Makefile version, such as EXTRAVERSION,
etc? Because if I use the config file, found in /boot, then I end up
with a kernel version (uname -a) equal to the upstream stable version
which is the base for this kernel.
I was expecting that the Ubuntu kernel sources would generate the exact
same kernel image (including the kernel version) as can be found in one
of the images.
Wim.
Could you please help me getting the exact same kernel source, used for building
the linux-image-3.13.0-33-generic package by means of the config file, located
in the /boot section.
Thanks,
Kind regards,
Wim Torfs.
