This is a ebuild made by me for testing propouse, maybe it helps someone.
Please note that the version is 1.0 and it takes it as "1" + a constant of ".0"
so this ebuild really sucks and should not be using by no body (exept me ;-)

If the ebuild is only for you, then why did you add it to bugs.gentoo.org?

Anyway... I wrote today an ebuild for 2.6.4-wolk2.

Have phun ;)

Thanks, I was just working on this ;-)

I'm trying wolk-2.6 branch in production and no problems yet.

[Comment 5 steveb 2004-03-18 15:48:54 UTC]

Well... I just modified the ebuild, to be able to download releases with x.y notation. I hope, that the y will never be bigger then 9 ;)

have fun

cheers

Reiser4 is not something that we're willing to support just yet. When it gains some stability and has a lot more testing, then we can add this patchset. For now, though, it's best left out of the tree.
