Hi all.

Could I change the kernel version tag manually? say, I have a kernel
which is 7.0-CUREENT, but for some reasons I wanna it be something like
6.1-RELEASE, while the kernel itself does't change from 7.0-CURRENT to
6.1-RELEASE. All I want is the change of tag. For example, if this works,
then when I type "uname -a" in console, I would get "6.1-RELEASE ..."
instead of "7.0-CURRENT ...".

I guess some config files in src/sys/ could take care of this. But I
cannot find it out. Anybody knows how to get this job done?

It's src/sys/conf/newvers.sh

But I don't think it's a good idea to fake it ;-)

Thanks very much. Someone has told me this just now. And I also have found a
better way to deal with my problem.

Thanks again. :-)
