Description Andrew Randrianasulu 2010-10-02 07:36:42 UTC

due to missing linux/falloc.h

I'm upgrading from 2008.0

May be adding dependency on linux-headers >= 2.6.25 or better test for fallocate usability will help here?

I found one patch about exporting falloca.h on 2.6.24 (http://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/3119/ ), but i guess this kernel just too old for gentoo users, and i think not many of them hit this bug, but on slow machine re-emerging stuff after dependency failure like this  still can be issue .. so, reporting here. Feel free to set as low priority.

falloc.h , without "a". (typo)

Attach build.log of the failure too, as well as emerge --info

Ops. Failure log was overwritten with successful installation (after i upgrade linux-headers). I'll try again with older snapshot of my system.

i looked into the source and found the issue.  sent a patch upstream and added to util-linux-2.18-r1.
