Description Sven 2007-02-02 05:43:16 UTC

Hi,

the ebuild for xen-sources-2.6.16.28-r2 is broken.

Usually, xen-kernels link themselfs to /boot/vmlinuz-2.6-xen and /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-xen.

But these sources don't do it anymore.


The reson is quite clear to me:
Makfile doesn't contain the XENGUEST-variable anymore. But it's still used in arch/i386/boot-xen/Makefile for example.


The first lines of Makefile currently look like this:
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 16
EXTRAVERSION = .28-xen-r2
NAME=Stable Penguin


But they should look like that:
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 6
SUBLEVEL = 16
EXTRAVERSION = .28-xen-r2
XENGUEST = -xen
NAME=Stable Penguin

xen-sources-2.6.16.28 is long gone and current kernels should handle make install in a sane manner. Closing.
