Bugzilla Bug 150392

net-dialup/slmodem-2.9.11_pre20051101-r2 compiles fine, so my suggestion is to
mark it as stable (to obsolete the current stable ebuild that doesn't compile
as shown below).

hmm... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't gentoo-sources-2.6.18 marked as
testing?
right now, slmodem-2.9.11_pre20051101-r2 is in the probation period (one month
without any change).

x86: please stablize

We want these fixed before 2.6.18 goes stable. So it is a good time to start
now. Important fixes like this one justify to stabilze earlier.

1.) emerges fine on x86
2.) passes collision test
3.) should work (using it on my ~x86 box without problems)

A bit early, but since it seems to fix previous revision (from ChangeLog), and
it actually works, I've stabilized it.

I would suggest as a further enhancement for new releases to consider splitting
the kernel modules from the userland tools (slmodem-drivers out of slmodem). I
shouldn't need any special external kernel module for my hardware, the alsa
8x0m driver should be enough, and the userland part is much less likely to
break with future stable kernel releases.

thanks.
