Bug 40902 – kernel-2 eclass doesn't pick up docs in patchsets

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Keith M Wesolowski (RETIRED) 2004-02-08 16:30:04 UTC]

The install_sources function tries to pick up all the patch documentation and put it into patches.txt.  It looks in the wrong place: ${WORKDIR}/${KV}/docs.  Instead it should look either in ${WORKDIR}/patches/${KV}/docs or in all of ${WORKDIR}/patches/*/docs.  I'll attach a patch for the former.

Created attachment 25224 [details, diff]
Patch to do ${KV} -> patches/${KV}

Thanks for pointing this out.
This was left in fromt he older eclass, so rather than changing this I would be more inclined to extend it.
any dissagreements with somethng like:

for file in $(find ${WORKDIR}/patches/*/docs/ -type f)

this has now been changed in 1.26 of kernel-2.eclass
Hopefully this would be just fine, but please let me know your comments.
