Bug 179669 – kernel.eselect module improvement for FreeBSD

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Pierre Guinoiseau 2007-05-24 19:26:13 UTC]

Hi,
here is a patch which improves the kernel.eselect module in order to work with the freebsd kernel. It can even be easily modified in order to work with others kernels.

eselect team, it's your call; I have some doubts with a cross-ROOT environment, but, well, it's your call.

+case `uname -s` in
+	FreeBSD) KERNEL="sys";;
+	*) KERNEL="linux";;
+esac

Eselect doesn't allow running commands in global scope, so we cannot apply this patch. At least the uname call should be moved into a function.

Apart from this, I think it would be better to have a new and differently named module for BSD.

No reply since three years, therefore closing.

Feel free to reopen with a new patch.
