Description Adrian Bassett 2009-04-20 10:02:07 UTC

Bug #264388 refers to the need for an updated sys-kernel/linux-headers for 2.6.29 so that ipsec-tools will build against that kernel version.  I am running up against the same problem now after upgrading to readlin 6.0 so is there an ETA for this bump?  (Alternatively a clue as to how linux-headers is generated from kernel source?)

Many thanks

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run 2.6.29.z kernel version
2.Emerge ipsec-tools-0.7.1 or other package which requires updated kernel headers
3.

Also for ati-drivers.

also we need it in the overlay vdr-devel 
for the vdr developer tree up from media-video/vdr-1.7.5

Bug #267307  also probably needs this. 

It seems to me that a year or two ago, i could change the ebuild filename and it would download the kernel from kernel.org and install the needed headers. 

Now it depends on someone creating "mirror://gentoo/gentoo-headers-base-${PV}.tar.lzma"

open-vm-tools-0.0.20090423.162451 also needs kernel-headers to bumped.

Many thanks.   ipsec-tools emerges fine after the bump.
