I couldn't agree more. If you're not building a kernel module, there |
| 8 |
shouldn't ever be a reason why the package should die in pkg_setup. We |
| 9 |
hit this *every* release with at least one package that completely |
| 10 |
breaks GRP building, since the GRP target doesn't have a configured |
| 11 |
kernel. We always have to use hacks and workarounds to resolve the |
| 12 |
issue. With a new release coming soon, now would be an excellent time |
| 13 |
to start fixing all of these that aren't fixed. Release Engineering |
| 14 |
will send jforman over to love you long time if you don't. *grin* |
