Bugzilla Bug 181973

The last version of the rt2500 driver listed in portage is feb 9th. It's been
over 3 months since an updated ebuild has been put into portage. I'm requesting
one of the following

1) An ebuild that downloads the snapshot from 6/13 (known to be working), or

2) A CVS ebuild that checks out the latest hourly cvs source and
compiles/installs (just like xxxx-9999 ebuilds out there).

Reproducible: Always

An update would be good, since there have been some major changes (added SMP 
support, fixed a few major hang ups), but maybe this should depend on but
#174867
If you would like to upgrade yourself, create an overlay, put the ebuild named
"rt2500-1.1.0_pre2007020911" 
in it and rename it to
"rt2500-1.1.0_preDATE"
where you replace DATE with your version.
Then rename the tar.gz file that you downloaded to match that name. It should
work. 
You should ensure that you're not using the qt3 use flag, because that utility
has been removed from the rt2500 tree. It should be replaced by a gtk use flag,
but that would depend on bug #159900.

I'm working on a cvs ebuild, but I don't know when I've got the time to finish
it. ;)

I've tried it, this is what I get. Any ideas?

Are you sure, that you did take a current ebuild from the tree?
Did you check the tarball that it contains everything, that is needed?
It does happen sometimes, that they release corrupt tarballs.
Just try another one.

I've just checked it again, it does work for me, so shouldn't be a problem
considering the ebuild.

rt2500 CVS ebuild.
Be aware, that this is a true CVS ebuild and not based on the hourly tarball.

Just to let you know, I did screwup. I emerged 617 successfully yesterday and
have had no issues at all.

I've added a new CVS snapshot to fix this.
Sorry for the delay - the only machine I have left with an rt2500 card needed a
new PSU.

You forgot to remove the qt3 use flag. If you look into that tar file, you will
see, that they removed the Utility, so emerging it with qt3 enabled will fail.

Removed, thanks
