There has not been an official release of a tuxonice http://tuxonice.net/ patchset since kernel 3.0, nly the git tree from https://github.com/NigelCunningham?p=tuxonice-kernel.git;a=summary, which make it hard to package in ebuilds. An unofficial patchset was posted on http://crow202.org/tuxonice/ which seems to work, so I created an ebuild based on the latest gentoo-sources. Reproducible: Always

I have mailed upstream about this unofficial patchset as I prefer to keep using official one as much as possible
Yeah, the problem seems to be known. http://lists.tuxonice.net/pipermail/tuxonice-users/2012-January/001028.html Upstream should also be aware of this patch, since I found it on the mailinglist. http://lists.tuxonice.net/pipermail/tuxonice-users/2012-March/001050.html Anyway, things are lagging behind http://lists.tuxonice.net/pipermail/tuxonice-users/2012-January/001028.html I hope we will get regular releases back.
It would appear that official releases are not forthcoming from upstream. As per the discussion in [1], could we start having snapshot-based ebuilds? The vanilla kernel is up to 3.3, gentoo sources are on 3.2, and tuxonice is still 3.0, which seems particularly silly because even for 3.0, the official download is just called current-for-3.0.

What about removing tuxonice-sources from portage and suggest users to switch to pf-sources instead? I switched to pf- in 2010 and can say it was right. (I use it on servers, too)

You... know the difference, right? > I switched to pf- in 2010 and can say it was right. (I use it on servers, too) I didn't, I use hardened-sources on servers. I agree with Pacho (see comment #3).
Created attachment 318210 [details] tuxonice-sources-3.3.8.ebuild Upstream does tag a tuxonice-3.3 release here: http://github.com/NigelCunningham/tuxonice-kernel/commit/759e62739ef570022e51d7777b8b01d37b0af707 The most recent release is gregkh's 3.3.8 release here: http://github.com/NigelCunningham/tuxonice-kernel/commit/845720650c557a75262b629b0bc228fffcf64638 I'm attaching a sample ebuild that extracts this diff via GitHub's web interface. The 3.4 series seems to be in progress: http://github.com/NigelCunningham/tuxonice-kernel/commits/tuxonice-3.4 However, there don't seem to be any systematic tuxonice release tags vs. vanilla patch-level release tags.
Nigel Cunningham has released stable patchsets recently against 3.2, 3.3 and even 3.4: http://lists.tuxonice.net/pipermail/tuxonice-users/2012-July/001106.html However, the uploaded patchsets are named "latest-TuxOnIce-for-Linux-${KERNEL_VERSION}" and he promised to keep them up to date, which makes them unsuitable for ebuild-use. A more helpful patchset against 3.4 can also be generated from git and should be suitable for ebuild-use: https://github.com/NigelCunningham/tuxonice-kernel/compare/vanilla-3.4...tuxonice-3.4.patch
I've installed 3.3.8 using this ebuild and it's working quite well (x86_64). It would be great to have up-to-date tuxonice back in the tree.

Great! Does this mean that the kernel team is back on the tuxonice horse, or should the users continue to follow Nigel Cunningham's commits and file a bug when he tags a "release" ?
pacho, tuxonice-sources-3.3.8 did not build for me; here's the error: -------------------------------------------------------------------- CC kernel/power/user.o kernel/power/user.c: In function 'snapshot_ioctl': kernel/power/user.c:226:3: error: implicit declaration of function 'usermodehelper_disable' kernel/power/user.c:232:4: error: implicit declaration of function 'usermodehelper_enable' make[2]: *** [kernel/power/user.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [kernel/power] Error 2 make: *** [kernel] Error 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------- One difference between your patch and the patch extracted by my ebuild is that mine has a number of "#include <linux/kmod.h>" directives which yours does not; kmod.h has the declaration for usermodehelper_{enable,disable} .

It comes from: http://tuxonice.net/downloads/all/ -> http://tuxonice.net/downloads/all/latest-TuxOnIce-for-Linux-3.3.patch.bz2
Thanks for your reply. It's not clear to me what the value of those uploaded patches are. The head of some x.y tuxonice branch is not guaranteed to work with any x.y.z upstream kernel. The only combination that I think is reasonably guaranteed to work is a tuxonice "release" commit with the kernel version corresponding to the most recent upstream merge prior to the commit. My ebuild for 3.3.8 employs this logic.
I would prefer to use generated patches by Nigel instead, please open a bug report with your issue to report the problem to upstream mailing list. Also attach a diff between your working kernel and non working one to apply it until upstream patches are regenerated

Thanks pacho. Per your instructions, I opened bug #427628 .
