Bug 21952 – MOL depends directly on ppc-sources-benh instead of virtual/kernel

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Pieter Van den Abeele (RETIRED) 2003-05-30 08:45:52 UTC]

ppc-sources is also a benh kernel

ppc-sources-benh is also incorrectly named, but thats another bug.

lu_zero, I'm going to assign this to you, is that ok?

This dependency is caused by a recent improvement of mol for SMP.  It has been coordinated between Samuel Rydh and Benjamin Herrenschmidt.  See the message http://lists.maconlinux.org/pipermail/mol-devel/2003-April/000137.html on the mol-developer list.

When the recent ppc-sources consists of ben10 and also provides this "symbol needed by mol" (see link to mail above), then I have no further objectives to link the latest two developer-versions of mol against the ppc-sources.

I can run mol perfect on ppc-sources-2.4.21-r1 (the livecd sources)

changing dependency to virtual/kernel seems the best thing todo. 

afaik ppc-sources, ppc-sources-crypto, ppc-sources-benh are all -benh based.
I have no idea if mol also works when smp is enabled.

the snapshot are ment to solve some gcc-3.3/3.2.x issue and smp issues, mol .96_pre2 seems working with smp enabled as per irc report.
