Hey all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Been busy with lots of other things, and dreading sending this anyway, |
| 4 |
but I wanted to clear things up Re: the koutput/kbuild stuff that I'd |
| 5 |
worked on to fix some problems previously related to 2.6 kernel build |
| 6 |
issues. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Unfortunately, the fix that was 95% implemented, and had the beginnings |
| 9 |
of code in the tree got ham-strung by a combination of kernel stuff |
| 10 |
changing under my/our feet, and Real Life (tm) things coming in at just |
| 11 |
the wrong time. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
As a result, the kmod.eclass, and config-kernel have several problems, |
| 14 |
and are only 1/2 implemented anyway. Sooo, don't use kmod.eclass. Just |
| 15 |
don't. config-kernel i will be package.masking as well soon. I know |
| 16 |
there are a few ebuilds out there that currently use kmod.eclass for a |
| 17 |
few things. I'll be contacting those maintainers over the next few days |
| 18 |
to address things with them, and get them sorted out with how to get |
| 19 |
things working with 2.6.6 and newer kernels. If you get any bugs from |
| 20 |
people complaining about such and such ebuild not working with koutput, |
| 21 |
assing or CC me, and i'll deal with it. Thanks. |

Sorry for any confusion folks. |
