Hello everyone |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Attached you will find the various changes I plan to apply to |
| 5 |
kernel-2.eclass after a week if there are no objections, feel free to |
| 6 |
take a look at them. A summary of the changes: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
- Added a warning after the variables that modifying other variables in |
| 9 |
the eclass is not supported, there is a chance that we will not fix |
| 10 |
resulting bugs. Fixes bug #421721. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
- Make use of readme.gentoo.eclass to make the user aware of the Gentoo |
| 13 |
Linux Kernel Upgrade Guide only the first time he emerges the |
| 14 |
package. Fixes bug #457598. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
- Clarify the default DESCRIPTION and make it not use versions, a |
| 17 |
directory with ebuilds that inherit this eclass may contain multiple |
| 18 |
versions and we also don't want to give the impression that a new |
| 19 |
directory needs to made if that's not the case. Fixes bug #445110. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
- Clarified which patch depths are used in the normal output and error |
| 22 |
output when applying patches. Fixes bug #436402. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
- Made sure .tmp_gas_check is created inside the temp folder, it |
| 25 |
accidentally created temp.tmp_gas_check instead. Fixes bug #336732. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
- Make UNIPATCH_DOCS work again, install 0000_README document when |
| 28 |
using genpatches. Fixes bug #301478. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Since these are quite a few changes, it doesn't hurt posting them here. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I'll also summarize the past commits I made, for those who missed them: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
- Kernel sources and (gen)patches now use xz instead of bz2. Fixes bug |
| 35 |
#421721. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
- Added sys-devel/bc as a RDEPEND to kernel-2.eclass. Fixes bug |
| 38 |
#461848. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
- Use UID 0 instead of root to assign permissions to super user. Fixes |
| 41 |
bug #315807. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |

|
| 45 |
There is a guideline that reporting small changes to barely used |
| 46 |
eclasses here is not required, but that made some out-of-tree users |
| 47 |
unhappy; sorry for that, I'll try to get every eclass change reviewed |
| 48 |
in the future to avoid these issues. Small changes, like the above, I |
| 49 |
will try to combine together to avoid unnecessary mail and commit spam. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
That being said, since 3.8.7 has landed upstream we would like to hear |
| 52 |
about any issues we don't know about yet that would block stabilization; |
| 53 |
if we can, I plan to start stabilization in less than two weeks. Unless |
| 54 |
there are valid reasons for this to be done earlier/later. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
I'll add 3.2.43 and 3.8.7 to the tree in a moment, as it is late 3.0.73 |
| 57 |
and 3.4.40 will be for tomorrow... |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Have a nice day. :) |
