Bugzilla Bug 123167

Please bump

ebuild for 2.6.15-ck4

This ebuild is based heavily on the ebuild for 2.6.15-ck3-r1.

I only have this keyworded for ~x86, since that is all I have to test.  Both ck
and cks patches apply and build cleanly.

Thanks scott, I forgot to mention I used your previous ebuild, and I'll use
this one as well, its too bad that no one bothers to put this into portage (I
just noticed *all* the other packages were updated)

Each kernel package is maintained by usually one or two people, and it looks
like the ck-sources maintainer is inactive at the moment. It's not just a case
of putting ebuilds in portage, we have to test them (compile *and* boot) first,
and when you have 25 kernel packages in the tree you have a huge task on your
hand.

As for all other packages being up-to-date, I wish. We do keep our supported
kernels (see http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-kernel.xml) up-to-date, but
many of the others lack full maintenance.

On ~x86, both ck and cks kernels boot without error.

All programs on the workstation (media players, IM clients, etc.) function as
before.  All services on the server (NFS, samba, and NIS) function as before.

How come ck-sources does not include the genpatches extras?

genpatches base are a minimal set of security and bugfixes that come out ahead
of 2.6.x.y releases.  Con rolls all of the .y patches into his patchset, but he
doesn't get the in-betweens.

genpatches extras are, as the name suggests, extras.  They aren't strictly
necessary.  Con optimizes his patchset to maximize both performance and
stability.  Application of these extras could stray too far from his
optimizations.

Sorry for not staying on top of this, I will get it into portage by the end of
the day.

In portage, enjoy.
