include/version.mk is your friend. It applies either the built-in defaults or the config parameters that you provide in your menuconfig.

So, two main ways:

• edit the fallback-defaults in include/version.mk:
  https://github.com/lede-project/source/blob/master/include/version.mk
• edit the config values in your .config. The values can be found once you activate "image options" and then "version options" (e.g. using "make menuconfig"). Or you can edit .config directly:

CONFIG_IMAGEOPT=y                 
CONFIG_VERSIONOPT=y               
CONFIG_VERSION_NUMBER="15.05.1"   

But whatever you do, please keep the core commit-based version and the actual branch are available (like "r3923-8b8ce566d9" and "17.01" etc.).

That is especially necessary if you think about providing a community build or so. Nothing is more frustrating from support perspective than trying to understand what underlying version a build called "MyCustomOne 3.2" actually corresponds to...

Thanks for your reply. Sure i'll keep version, it's normal.
