nbd-2.7.1 contains some important bugfixes. I have started with nbd-2.6.0.ebuild as a base to create a new nbd-2.7.1.ebuild file. The primary changes are that the current kernel header nbd.h must be copied over--not current kernel header version--as discussed in an email with the author and maintainer for nbd; email to be attached with patch. Additionally, a change was required to support transforming the new sgml documentation to man pages. However, I'm having a small problem with permissions. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the fact I just made a new file in my portage directory, I didn't use a CVS'd copy. I'm looking into CVS, but any help would be appreciated. I can do a manual "make install" after it dies and it completed the installation just fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Created attachment 33606 [details] email with nbd maintainer
Created attachment 33607 [details] updated ebuild
Created attachment 33608 [details] Working nbd-2.7.1.ebuild
Created attachment 33609 [details] slightly updated working nbd-2.7.1.ebuild I took the "-v" off of "docbook2man" that I was using for debugging. I forgot to remove that in the previous attachment, oops!
Created attachment 33610 [details] last .ebuild I hope, noticed a weird tab
OK, the problem with the manpage installation was that both "make install" and "dobin" were trying to install the same manpages twice. I worked around this by just using the dobin portage feature.
Created attachment 33612 [details] nbd-2.7.1 with two more minor corrections
version bumped in cvs you didnt say what kernel headers you're using so i didnt add that bit ... i'm using kernel headers from 2.6.6 and didnt get the error you did
I'm using the latest stable linux-headers package: * sys-kernel/linux-headers Latest version available: 2.4.21-r1 Latest version installed: 2.4.21-r1 Size of downloaded files: 27,864 kB Homepage: http://www.kernel.org/ http://www.gentoo.org/ Description: Linux 2.4.21 headers from kernel.org License: GPL-2 I tried to upgrade to a new version once, and it didn't work: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50036 At minimum, it should require a linux-kernel package below a certain level. I assume the 2.6.5+ is sufficient, I'm not sure where in the 2.4.x line you need to be. I just rsync'd and it guess it hasn't been mirror out yet for me to look at to comment further. However, I see that linux-header-2.6.6 is now marked "stable" so perhaps that would be a good minimum level.
