Description Joseph Pingenot 2005-07-28 12:24:29 UTC 
Two somewhat disparate issues:<ol>
  <li>When building coda-kernel-6.0.0 on a 2.6-kernel system, the ebuild
(probably the makefile's fault) will enter an infinite recursive loop,
eventually exhausting all system memory</li>
  <li>Newest coda kernel module version is 6.2, and the newer buildsystem seems
much cleaner</li>
</ol>

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

3.




Wanted to have an ebuild, but am not familiar with making kernel module ebuilds.
 Sorry!  I got it halfway working.
Comment 1 Joseph Pingenot 2005-07-28 12:25:32 UTC 
Bumping to "Major" because of the memory exhaustion issue
Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-29 11:44:42 UTC 
So dsd_ was kind enough to hack up an ebuild for 6.2 which is pretty much the
best example of linux-mod usage in an ebuild. Thanks DSD.
Comment 3 Joseph Pingenot 2005-07-29 19:03:25 UTC 
The new coda ebuild seems to be working thus far.  Mille grazie!

Ok, killed the broken 6.0.0 ebuild. Thanks for testing.
