Bug 407869 – kernel-2.eclass does not fetch -rc kernel patches correctly

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alec Moskvin 2012-03-12 02:22:54 UTC]

The patches are now stored in the "3.x" directory, but instead it tries to fetch from "3.2", which does not exist.

So the fetch url should be:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/testing/patch-3.3-rc6.bz2
and not:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.2/testing/patch-3.3-rc6.bz2

Reproducible: Always

New kernel-2.eclass

Proposed new eclass. Thanks for the report. I've tested this with git, vanilla, hardened and gentoo-sources, so far. Let me know how it goes for you. I also will post the new git-sources that will download the compressed files instead of from git.

New git-sources not getting source from git repo

git-sources that will not download sources from git repo, but instead use compressed packages from kernel mirrors.

Thanks a lot, Mike!

I'm mainly interested in the vanilla-sources, and they work fine with the new eclass :)

Fixed awhile ago.
