ipset is a dependancy of sys-cluster/neutron-2014.2.2-r1 that i'm trying to install. It fails with : ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Sorry, but you have to patch kernel sources with the following patch: * # cd /usr/src/linux * # patch -i /var/tmp/portage/net-firewall/ipset-6.21.1/work/ipset-6.21.1/netlink.patch -p1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Which is already quite strange, i've never seen such a thing in gentoo. Though the patch fails miserably: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- bach linux # patch -i /var/tmp/portage/net-firewall/ipset-6.21.1/work/ipset-6.21.1/netlink.patch -p1 patching file include/linux/netfilter/nfnetlink.h Hunk #1 FAILED at 47. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file include/linux/netfilter/nfnetlink.h.rej patching file include/net/netlink.h Hunk #1 FAILED at 856. 1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file include/net/netlink.h.rej ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- And indeed, the corresponding files have nothing related to what the patch tries to change. I'm using kernel 3.19.2, which is very recent, and is i guess the reason of the failure. Using grep i've found the following that might (or not, i'm no expert) be related : include/uapi/linux/netfilter/nfnetlink.h:#define NFNL_SUBSYS_COUNT 12 But as it turns out, this files also contains a define for NFNL_SUBSYS_IPSET, so my current guest is that for recent kernel the patch is not needed .. Reproducible: Always
Confirmed both problem and analysis on kernel 3.18.7, which is older. So i guess the issue is of broader scope than i was thinking at first. My current fix is to remove the check_header_patch() in ebuild. I still think that what the patch tries to fix is already merged somehow in kernel >=3.18.7 at least.
the new version 6.24 takes care of this, please give it a try (btw, I didn't fix this 6.21.1)
It works well with 6.24 (and "-modules"), thanks !
