Just since it bit me on some infra boxes this evening, a quick reminder |
| 2 |
that you should generally never DEPEND on virtual/linux-sources in your |
| 3 |
ebuilds. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
It's trivial to build a fully working system, and never have /usr/src |
| 6 |
get populated. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
1. Never RDEPEND on virtual/linux-sources, it will bring kernel sources |
| 9 |
in during binpkg installs. |
| 10 |
2. linux-mod.eclass does correctly bring in virtual/linux-sources as |
| 11 |
needed, so if you are building kernel modules, inherit it rather than |
| 12 |
including your own DEPEND for sources. |
| 13 |
3. kernel_is: Version-specific virtual/linux-sources statements are generally |
| 14 |
useless, as you have no idea what kernel version is at /usr/src/linux |
| 15 |
or is pointed to by the various build variables. You should use the |
| 16 |
kernel_is function of linux-info.eclass instead. |
