ivtv's latest build is hard depped to specific kernel versions. This is not correct as while it may not work with higher kernel versions, the range should be determined on failure, not on lack of known good or bad. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a 2.6.25 kernel 2. emerge ivtv 3. failure Actual Results: * Messages for package media-tv/ivtv-1.0.3-r2: * Each IVTV driver branch will only work with a specific * linux kernel branch. * * You will need to either: * a) emerge a different kernel * b) emerge a different ivtv driver * * See http://ivtvdriver.org/ for more information * * ERROR: media-tv/ivtv-1.0.3-r2 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called pkg_setup * ivtv-1.0.3-r2.ebuild, line 46: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "This only works on 2.6.22 and greater kernels" * The die message: * This only works on 2.6.22 and greater kernels Expected Results: Try working against 2.6.25 sources. if ! ( kernel_is 2 6 22 || kernel_is 2 6 23 || kernel_is 2 6 24 ); then eerror "Each IVTV driver branch will only work with a specific" eerror "linux kernel branch." eerror "" eerror "You will need to either:" eerror "a) emerge a different kernel" eerror "b) emerge a different ivtv driver" eerror "" eerror "See http://ivtvdriver.org/ for more information" die "This only works on 2.6.22 and greater kernels" fi I suggest instead (based off of kernel_is ge 2 6 25 && epatch "${FILESDIR}"/NVIDIA_kernel-96.43.05-2290218.diff from nvidia-drivers-96.43.05.ebuild) if ! ( kernel_is ge 2 6 22 ); then until a range of working versions is determined, then: if ! ( kernel_is ge 2 6 22 && kernel_is le 2 6 XX ); then The first of the suggested lines has been tested and works for me (it compiles successfully at any rate).
Created attachment 150490 [details] ivtv ebuild with corrected version check. ivtv ebuild with corrected version check as per my prior post.
This is actually wrong since there's different versions for the higher kernels. These new versions appear in the tree.
