Currently we don't have a /etc/modprobe.d/, so I'm a little confused what you want me to do.

Well, the file in doins doesn't exist in the first place, so the thing was pretty pointless :) > > - the ebuild installs blacklist entry that has no chance of working anywhere. > > udev doesn't honor /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/ stuff, only > > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist # equery f sys-fs/udev | grep modprobe.d /etc/modprobe.d /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist /etc/modprobe.d/pnp-aliases Anyway, to your question: udev now has a wrapper to get blacklisting working again (see Bug 130766) - but it needs to find the stuff in /etc/modprobe.conf; it will be added there when you run /sbin/update-modules. See /sbin/update-modules for a list of honored locations, /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/ is not among them, so anything you stick there is useless. Basically, something like this will do the job: -dodir /etc/hotplug/blacklist.d -echo -e "slusb\nslamr\nsnd-intel8x0m" >> "${D}/etc/hotplug/blacklist.d/${PN}" +dodir /etc/modprobe.d +echo -e "slusb\nslamr\nsnd-intel8x0m" >> "${D}/etc/modprobe.d/${PN}-blacklist"

Anyway, if you decide to become the maintainer, please note there is a new upstream version ready to be added to the tree.

Uh, I'll try to be more clear: newins "${FILESDIR}/${PN}-2.9.devfs" ${PN} $ ls -1 /usr/portage/net-dialup/slmodem/files/ slmodem-2.9.11-kernel-2.6.19.patch slmodem-2.9.11-makefile.patch slmodem-confd slmodem-initd slmodem-modules slusb.hotplug Can't doins non-existant file. :) > Anyway, if you decide to become the maintainer, please note there is a new > upstream version ready to be added to the tree. Meh, I'm not an ebuild dev. Anyway, feel free to CC me on the bugs (or I'll CC myself), I can do some testing for this. :)
Ups... devfs support should be removed from the ebuild then. Please make an ebuild for the latest packages (slmodem and ungrab-winmodem) found in http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ and I'll commit it.
(In reply to comment #5) > Please make an ebuild for the latest packages (slmodem and ungrab-winmodem) > found in http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/smartlink/ and I'll commit > it. Well, I'll test w/ the latest slmodem snapshot; not really sure about the ungrab-winmodem update, I've been looking at the various snapshots and they seem to just pretty much randomly remove/add devices there. *confused*
Created attachment 119385 [details, diff] slmodem-2.9.11_pre20070505.ebuild.diff OK, I've committed this into sunrise for review; adding a diff against current ebuild here; please comment/ask if you have questions. Still using the old ungrab-winmodem tarball, I'll compare the various snapshots and try to figure out something. http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/sunrise/portage-review/net-dialup/slmodem/
Created attachment 119387 [details, diff] slmodem-2.9.11_pre20070505.ebuild.diff OK, finished. Uptodate version in sunrise, incl. all stuff needed in ${FILESDIR} and diff attached. Tested on x86 w/ 2.6.21 kernel.
Created attachment 119392 [details, diff] slmodem-2.9.11_pre20070505.ebuild.diff Bleh, attached wrong diff (broken blacklist).
So... Nuked udevtrigger from postinst, and using /$(get_libdir)/udev now as udev/amd64 folks want to change the stuff in the tree to use that. No more changes planned, so just grab the uptodate stuff from sunrise and commit. Thanks!
slmodem-2.9.11_pre20070505 is now in the tree. Good job!
