I have recently been installing gentoo on a new (well actually very old) box |
| 2 |
and I noticed the following strange thing. |
| 3 |
Some packages (e.g.: iptables, iputils, baselayout) are deperate to install |
| 4 |
the linux-headers, which is no suprise. However, the latest version of |
| 5 |
linux-headers package in 2.4.19, while the *sources are at 2.4.21. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
AFAIK the version of headers and of kernel are supposed to be the same. But in |
| 8 |
this case, I'll have vanilla-sources-2.4.21 and say my iptables will be build |
| 9 |
against headers for 2.4.19. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
My question is: are there any plans to bump up the version of the headers |
| 12 |
package, or it is obsolete. In the later case, I guess, no package should |
| 13 |
depend on virtual/os-headers any more, but rather on virtual/linux-sources |
| 14 |
(or probably the *sources, shoudl provide os-headers). |
