Genkernel (version 3.3.11d) is linux 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 but the new ivtv ebuild (0.7.0) requires 2.6.17. This is preventing me from doing a simple "emerge -uN world" as the ivtv ebuild kills it. This problem has been going on for about two weeks now. Ivtv is requiring me to d/l a kernel and make out an ebuild, and excessive work excessive work excessive work (moan moan) etc.
> Genkernel (version 3.3.11d) is linux 2.6.16-gentoo-r9 Why are you talking about? Need to run man genkernel probably, genkernel works w/ any kernel version.
I'm sorry, I was confused. I thought that genkernel had the kernel in it. I guess the bug should be filed with gentoo-sources. Perhaps ivtv should have a dependency for any of the *-sources ebuilds that contain 2.6.17 or greater kernels. Otherwise ivtv kills a simple upgrade.
(In reply to comment #2) > Perhaps ivtv should have a dependency for any of the *-sources ebuilds that >contain 2.6.17 or greater kernels. Otherwise ivtv kills a simple upgrade. It doesn't have any kernel dependency, it only checks for kernel *version* via linux-mod eclass. Sorry, but I still don't get what's your point here.
Changed summary to gentoo-sources My point is that when ivtv doesn't have any kind of dependency on one of the *-sources for the correct kernel version it will kill a simple upgrade. hellburner ~ # emerge -uNp world These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating world dependencies... done!

Now this is just two ebuilds that I can survive without. But, what if that firefox ebuild contained a security bug fix? What if it wasn't 2 ebuilds but 10?
I guess I need to reopen this.
!!! This only works on 2.6.17 kernels Anything unclear about that? Doesn't work w/ lower version, sorry.
