Bugzilla Bug 186901

I know this is in relation to the beta kernel, but I thought I'd post it here
to help out anyone who may have a similar problem in the future. This may also
be useful if the 2.6.23 kernel is released before a fix from the truecrypt
developers is available.

The 2.6.23-rc1 kernel (vanilla) has made a change to the kmem_cache_create()
function where it now has one less argument. A patch is required for the
truecrypt source code so that this extra argument is dropped.

I have attached a new .patch and a new truecrypt 4.3a r1 ebuild to solve these
problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -av truecrypt

Actual Results:

app-crypt/truecrypt/truecrypt-4.3a-r1.ebuild

New ebuild for truecrypt 4.3a which has a src_unpack() function added to patch
the source code if the kernel version is greater than or equal to 2.6.23. This
patch is required in order to compile the truecrypt kernel module on
2.6.23-rc1.

Thanks!
But kernel tends to add more issues until it is released...
So we will wait for final before fixing anything.

.

2.6.23 is now released, please commit the patched ebuild.

*** Bug 195859 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Reopen.

Why?
Works...
Can anyone paste some logs? and emerge --info?

I'm confirming that the patch is no longer required with the following
specifications (trimmed emerge --info):

I'm not sure what changed, but this ebuild doesn't seem to be need patching. It
is either something that changed in one of the later -rc's of 2.6.23 or was
caused by an upgrade from 2.6.21 headers to the latest stable 2.6.22 headers.

4.3 still fails (with slightly more verbose logs due to the new portage :) )

Shouldn't the (only) stable version have the patch, as well?

> Shouldn't the (only) stable version have the patch, as well?
No.
As 2.6.23 is not stable either.

Reopening as this is broken in the stable tree.. I'm now working towards 2.6.23
stabling in 2 weeks time, so this stuff should ideally be fixed in stable if
possible.

Please don't reopen bugs for stable request.
Opened bug#197557.
Thanks.
