Trying to emerge mm-sources-2.6.2_rc2-r1.ebuild. Was failing. Found that the patch order wasn't being respected. Was trying to apply 2/2.6.2-rc2-mm1.patch before 1/patch-2.6.2-rc2.patch even though the first was in the "2" dir and the second was in the "1" dir. Traced the cause to /usr/portage/eclass/kernel-2.eclass line 365: 365: for i in $(find ${x} -type d) 366: do 367: KPATCH_DIR="${KPATCH_DIR} ${i}" 368: done The patch order is whatever order "find" finds the dirs. It looks to be the inode number. I suggest changing line 365 to be for i in $(find ${x} -type d | sort -n) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ebuild mm-sources-2.6.2_rc2-r1.ebuild unpack 2. Wait for /var/tmp/portage/mm-sources-2.6.2_rc2-r1/work to be made. 3. Pause ebuild (ctrl-z). 4. cd /var/tmp/portage/mm-sources-2.6.2_rc2-r1/work 5. mkdir patches 6. mkdir patches/2 7. mkdir patches/1 8. stat -c "%i" patches/2 # look at inode number, e.g., 531912 9. stat -c "%i" patches/1 # look at inode number, e.g., 531913 10. Make sure inode of patches/2 < patches/1. 11. chown -R portage patches 12. Resume ebuild (fg). 13. Wait for error. Note that I had to contrive these steps. In reality, somehow, the inode of patches/2 was less than patches/1 automatically. Actual Results: * Applying 2.6.2-rc2-mm1.patch... patch: pch.c:614: intuit_diff_type: Assertion `i0 != NONE' failed. /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 1430: 6460 Aborted ( patch -p${PATCH_DEPTH} --dry-run -f <${i} >/dev/null ) patch: pch.c:614: intuit_diff_type: Assertion `i0 != NONE' failed. /usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 1430: 6461 Aborted ( patch -p${PATCH_DEPTH} --dry-run -f <${i} >/dev/null ) [ !! ] !!!
