Well, as per the thread on lkml, it looks like 2.6.8 was released with a |
2 |
nasty bug in NFS write support. So Linus took this opportunity to try |
3 |
out the new version scheme and released 2.6.8.1, which fixes the NFS |
4 |
problem. |

Well, we've been discussing the 2.6.x.y format for a while, so I see |
15 |
this |
16 |
as an opportunity to actually do it... Will it break automated scripts? |
17 |
Maybe. But on the other hand, we'll never even find out unless we try it |
18 |
some time. |

So i copied d-s-2.6.8.ebuild to my overlay and named it |

d-s-2.6.8.1.ebuild. |

Looks like this is one of the 'scripts' Linus was talking about :-) |
51 |
|
52 |
I looked at the ebuild (I've changed KEYWORDS in the past, but that's |
53 |
about it). There just isn't enough there to find something wrong. Does |
54 |
anyone have an idea how to fix this? It looks like the new scheme is |
55 |
going to be around a while... |
