Hi Shetu,

The script tries to get the kernel version of the kernel you want to
create a backports release for and this somehow fails.

Could you please run this manually like I did here:

$ make --no-print-directory -C ~/linux/linux-next kernelversion
5.7.0-rc3
$ echo $?
0

Please keep the mailing list in CC.
