It's not yet even in the tree, so it's rather more than a keyword setting |
| 17 |
you'd have to change. The latest listed in the tree (synced this morning) |
| 18 |
is -r3, according to equery and earch (a script from the gentoo-dev list) |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
You can also use packages.gentoo.org to look up various packages. For |
| 21 |
gentoo-sources: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
http://packages.gentoo.org/search/?sstring=gentoo-sources |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
It also says 2.6.15-r3 is the latest, with the latest changelog entry on |
| 26 |
Feb 6 (that version already stable on amd64). |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
It would appear to me the versions in the list in dsd's devspace are |
| 29 |
patch-versions or the like, not corresponding directly to ebuild -r |
| 30 |
versions. A quick comparison of the changelog against the versions listed |
| 31 |
on that page confirms it -- the stuff listed on the page as release |
| 32 |
2.6.15-6 appears in the gentoo-sources changelog for 2.6.15-r3. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Finally, checking the gentoo-sources-2.6.15-r3 ebuild itself: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
K_GENPATCHES_VER="6" |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
If you trace the eclass inherits, you'll almost certainly find that the |
| 39 |
K_GENPATCHES_VER variable is used to determine which patch tarball is |
| 40 |
applied, and further looking into that will find the tarball complete with |
| 41 |
all the listed changes for that release. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
So... just sync and emerge the latest gentoo-sources, and you should get |
| 44 |
the stuff in patch release 6. No keyword changes required! |
