Bug 191263 – VIDEO_IVTV does not select everything it needs

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2007-09-04 16:26:05 UTC]

When you enable VIDEO_IVTV, it doesn't select everything it needs. drivers/media/video/ivtv/Kconfig needs "select I2C_ALGOBIT" added to it. This has been fixed upstream but do to the nature of the kernel development model, it won't be in the kernel until 2.6.24 so gentoo sources will need this patch until then.

Doug,

Is this the commit that you are talking about?
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=c9b9a5817afc8f969b1ae834f88af6929f70de41

If so, this appears to be in linux v2.6.23-rc1. If that commit looks like the one, would you mind testing the latest vanilla kernel?

[Comment 2 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2007-09-04 20:06:16 UTC]

That's it. Hans told me it wouldn't make it in until 2.6.24. No test necessary, I mentioned it to Hans originally.

Patch to select algobit for ivtv

Here's the patch as a possible candidate for back porting to 2.6.22

Doug, would you mind testing the patch against 2.6.22-r6 so we could potentially back port the fix for the .22 kernel?

[Comment 4 Mike Pagano 2007-09-04 21:14:19 UTC]

On second thought, it applies against 2.6.22-r6 and performs the necessary addition needed. No need to test.

Doug, thanks for bringing this to our attention. The patch is in svn, will be included in next version of gentoo-sources. We'll keep this bug open until that's been released.

fixed in genpatches-2.6.22-8 / gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r7
