78094 2005-01-15 07:59 0000 hostap-driver is provided by mm-sources (and possibly others) 2005-01-18 03:22:35 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Ebuilds unspecified All Linux RESOLVED FIXED InCVS P2 normal --- 1 skobel@gmail.com kernel@gentoo.org mobile@gentoo.org skobel@gmail.com 2005-01-15 07:59:43 0000 The hostap driver is included in recent mm-sources kernels, so it should provide it so hostap-utils and the likes don't want to install hostap-driver Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge mm-sources 2. emerge hostap-utils Actual Results: Gentoo tries to emerge hostap-driver when mm-sources provided it already. Expected Results: Gentoo should recognize that hostap-driver is provided by the kernel. genstef@gentoo.org 2005-01-15 12:31:48 0000 I think we could use linux_chkconfig_present to check if the module is provided by the kernel we are compiling for .. the "providing" with portage is not very handy imo. henrik@brixandersen.dk 2005-01-15 15:30:13 0000 Exactly how is that going to solve the dependency problem in hostapd and hostap-utils? johnm@gentoo.org 2005-01-15 15:42:59 0000 support has been added into the linux-mod.eclass now for CHECK_CONFIG="@OPTION:module" what this does is, if OPTION in kernel is present, remove module from MODULE_NAMES. This will help you elleviate the issue where it will build and install kernel drivers, over a kernel which already supports this, while still building any other modules or tools in the ebuild. As I don't understand the setup of hostap properly, I wont comment on any other problems :) henrik@brixandersen.dk 2005-01-18 03:22:17 0000 I've removed the dependency on hostap-driver from hostapd and hostap-utils. Closing as FIXED InCVS. henrik@brixandersen.dk 2005-01-18 03:22:35 0000 Really closing this time :)
