this has been out for a while. infact it was tagged in cvs a few weeks ago. i have the kernel patches in pfeifer-sources-2.4.21_pre3. once pre3 is uploaded, i'll bump it 2.1.0

Glad you are on the ball Jay, but because it had been over a week since release and I had seen no indication that the ebuild was being updated I figure'd I would say something about it since I was also posting bug #24064 which solves some activation issues for evms2.

I just hope whoever is in charge of sys-apps/baselayout checks bugzilla soon so that the fix can get put out there so others have it.

ok - pfeifer-sources-2.4.21_pre3 is in portage. i'll now move evms-2.1.0 in as well. i also want to revisit your other bugs about the evms2 init scripts... that'll be next. i want to get those solid.

closing since it is in portage... now for 24064.
