Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
this was fixed a while ago, please emerge sync and try again.
How long ago? I just re-sync'd and re-emerged, still see the same thing...
sorry perhaps i have misunderstood your problem can you elaborate and then i can possibly answer a little better.
Sure. Installing development-sources-2.6.0-test9 creates a directory: /usr/src/linux-2.6.0-test9 and a symlink /usr/src/linux-beta Unfortunately, the symlink points to linux-2.6.0-test9-patchset-0.2 which does not exist. I was able to reproduce this by removing /usr/src/linux-beta and emerging development-sources.
I've used USE=vanilla, right? Radek
closing this bug, package has been masked, and this will be superceeded soon, hopefully tonight.
I was not using the 'vanilla' USE flag. I think test8 also has this problem...
Couldn't you just mask it unstable? This masking thing sucks since it takes ages to get the ebuild installed. Simple ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" would be much better :-( Radek
the reason this has been masked in package.mask is because its simply, broken. there will be a new one in portage reletively soon. in the mean timeif your not wanting the vanilla build, then merge gentoo-dev-sources as that is now the patched 2.6. development-sources will be scrictly vanilla as of the next portage addition. tpo install package.masked packages without problems: mkdir -p /ets/portage echo "development-sources" > /etc/portage/package.unmask
Come on guys... -test8 still as the most recent? This is a shame for Gentoo... Why not split the packages to one which would be strictly vanilla and the other with the gentoo patches? Should be no problem... Radek
test9 is the most recent, and they have been split. development-sources hasnt bumped to test9 yet (it was but then masked) for logistic reasons as changes are going through in kernel.eclass. the gentoo patched sources are: gentoo-dev-sources and are currently at test9. Both are holding off until test10 now until we can get eclass changes in place. This was done about 4 days ago, perhaps more. less than a day after the test9 dev-sources was masked.
