Bug 150436 – please consider stabilizing >=sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.17.13

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Heim (RETIRED) 2006-10-08 00:03:03 UTC]

As the summary tells, could you guys please look into 2.6.17.13 and see if it works for your arch and mark it stable afterwards ?

[Comment 1 Matthias Langer 2006-10-08 04:26:41 UTC]

seems to work fairly well here (x86):

"
$ uname -psr
Linux 2.6.17.13 Celeron (Coppermine)
$ uptime
 13:23:41 up 13 days, 11:39,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
"

[Comment 2 Markus Meier 2006-10-08 04:36:13 UTC]

works fine here on x86.
(installed it about 2 weeks ago)

x86 done... thanks guys

[Comment 4 Gustavo Zacarias (RETIRED) 2006-10-09 11:38:30 UTC]

sparc okie dokie.

[Comment 5 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) 2006-10-11 12:28:38 UTC]

2.6.17.13 stable on ppc64

[Comment 6 Christian Heim (RETIRED) 2006-10-12 04:36:03 UTC]

Adding additional arches.

[Comment 7 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) 2006-10-12 11:08:55 UTC]

IA64 done (2.6.18).

[Comment 8 Patrick Ohearn 2006-10-12 14:27:28 UTC]

We have this issue with 2.6.18, http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148710.

[Comment 9 Christian Heim (RETIRED) 2006-10-14 07:33:27 UTC]

According to Mike (KingTaco) vanilla-sources isn't supported on amd64, thus removing them.

[Comment 10 Joe Jezak (RETIRED) 2006-11-21 11:38:57 UTC]

Marked ppc stable.

[Comment 11 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2006-12-17 11:24:50 UTC]

HPPA doesnt even have vanilla-sources keyworded

[Comment 12 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2006-12-17 12:06:33 UTC]

(In reply to comment #11)
> HPPA doesnt even have vanilla-sources keyworded

Sure we do.

[Comment 13 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2006-12-17 20:23:22 UTC]

vanilla-sources installs properly but is not used for building kernels for PARISC machines. It just doesn't work without specific patches that are not in Linus' kernel. Because the previously stable 2.6.16.16 does not build a kernel at all, I have reverted that to ~hppa. I have also marked >2.6.17.14 ~hppa and I hope this keyword will be propagated to all future vanilla-sources ebuilds. (If an HPPA user then finds that a certain version will build a proper kernel image, then theoretically we could always stabilise that version).

Thanks for reminding me of the problem, dsd, and sorry for the delay, everyone.
