While emerging the new linux-2.6.0-test9, several errors poped up which implies that the patches were never actually applied to the source base. To reproduce: on clean system emerge development-sources-2.6.0-beta9 watch initial messages just after unpacking to /var/tmp/portage where the recient patches are installed. EBo --
can any one else confirm this? I cant personally.
doesn't happen here, though I know the original development-sources-2.6.0_beta9 that was committed wasn't good, though that was fixed a few days ago. Though there is a bug compiling r8169 net driver on smp systems, which I've got a patch for. -Brad
Marking this bug as closed. John (EBo) could you please test with the newest test9 sources? (theyre not bumped so you will be required to emerge sync and remerge). Please comment to this bug if you still have problems. Brad, thanks for checking, can you please hold off for genpatches 0.3 before adding, and give me a quick shout first, I may or may not have a fair few additions by then :) Thanks
john, I just uploaded a genpatches-2.6-0.3.tar.bz2 to distfiles, but have not patched the development-sources yet ... I found a problem with the development-sources script via the livecd-ng where it wasn't properly moving the directories b/c it wasn't in the right directory to do it in, so it stayed named linux-2.6.0-test9, and I didn't check to see if the patches were actually applied, but the cd's that were removed if you diff the _beta9 and the _beta8 were the problem, so after adding those back in there, it worked fine .... If you want to add those back in there, that would be great. Any idea how to take genpatches-2.6-0.3.tar.bz2 out of distfiles? ;) -B
Thanks Brad and John for the replies, and my apologies for not responding sooner; there is a bit of a flu bug going around... John: I removed the sources, sync'ed, removed the distfiles, and re-emerged the it... only part of the problem was fixed. I think Brad has found the problem. Here is a clip of emerge's output: ############################################ >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking linux-2.6.0-test9.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/development-sources- 2.6.0_beta9/work * Applying genpatches-2.6-0.2.tar.bz2...

note on followup... editing the ebuild script so it cd's the the proper place fixed the above problem. EBo --
