Bug 463144 – =sys-cluster/drbd-8.4.2 please stabilize

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Paweł Hajdan, Jr. (RETIRED) 2013-03-24 20:27:21 UTC]

Is it OK to stabilize =sys-cluster/drbd-8.4.3 ?

If so, please CC all arches which have stable keywords

for older versions of this package and add STABLEREQ keyword

to the bug.

Arches please do your magic, TIA!

[Comment 2 Agostino Sarubbo 2013-03-26 11:35:09 UTC]

amd64 stable

[Comment 3 Agostino Sarubbo 2013-03-26 11:41:54 UTC]

x86 stable. Last arch, closing

I was too hasty with that, there's no matching stable kernel for this version

+  26 Mar 2013; Kacper Kowalik <[e-mail]> drbd-8.4.3.ebuild:
+  Revert to testing as there's no matching stable kernel

Please, once again - kernel 3.8.13 stabilized.

It's stabilized on the popular arches but still awaits further stabilization on the other arches; made this bug depend on the kernel bug, so once it has been fully stabilized you'll be automatically noticed about that by mail.

What is "stabilized on the popular platforms"?
May be this? (from sys-cluster/drbd/drbd-8.4.3.ebuild):
KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~x86"

8.4.3 needs kernel 3.10.x. It cannot be stabilized until the kernel is stable too. Personally I don't think stabilizing this particular packages makes much sense. In production you're tied to the version matching your server kernel, you won't give a crap about stable/unstable...

You are right: current stable kernel-3.8.13 requires drbd-8.4.2 (KEYWORDS="~amd64 ~x86").
The kernel is stabilized, a server reboots and oops - drbd does not work.
Gentlemens, this is your fault.
I tried to write about it (couple months ago), in the hope that it will be quickly remedied and other users will not be affected by this problem. But nobody cares. Now I'm just wondering how long it will take to solve the problem.

Someone spent time looking for the problem, looking for information, write a comment. Read the comments! Why do these lie?

Arches please stabilize 8.4.2 it should work with kernel 3.8 - 3.9. TIA!
