Builds are performed with the standard `bcmrpi3_defconfig`, with the only change being that the first 12 hex digits of the tip commit SHA1 hash are appended to `CONFIG_LOCALVERSION` (with a separating hyphen) before building. -> Builds from the >= 4.14.y branch also have `CONFIG_MMC_SDHCI_IPROC=m` set, as this [is necessary](https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-8184824.html#8184824) to use the RPi3's onboard WiFi adaptor. - A new build tarball is automatically created and uploaded as a release asset each week (unless the tip of the default branch is unchanged from the prior week, or an error occurs during the build process). > The default branch is used, as that is generally given most attention for e.g. VC4 backports. -For example, on 1 June 2017, the default branch was `rpi-4.9.y` and the latest commit was `e5bd734340e6871e4e9ef5ff66e61197eb8ece30` (the short form of which is `e5bd734340e6`). The created release was [4.9.30.20170601](https://github.com/sakaki-/bcmrpi3-kernel/releases/4.9.30.20170601), within which the kernel tarball was `bcmrpi3-kernel-4.9.30.20170601.tar.xz`, and the corresponding kernel release name was `4.9.30-v8-e5bd734340e6+`. +As an (historical) example, on 1 June 2017, the default branch was `rpi-4.9.y` (NB, it is `rpi-4.14.y` now) and the latest commit was `e5bd734340e6871e4e9ef5ff66e61197eb8ece30` (the short form of which is `e5bd734340e6`).
