Description Chris Slycord 2012-10-05 20:18:45 UTC
In aufs3-3_p20120813 if USE=kernel-patch the aufs build informs the user that they must compile their kernel to be able to use the module. This implies that if someone is wanting to patch the kernel, they want to build the driver as part of the kernel.

But instead, when kernel-patch is set, the ebuild patches the kernel sources *and* builds/install the module separate from the in-kernel patch.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set USE=kernel-patch
2. emerge =sys-fs/aufs3-3_p20120813
3.
Actual Results:  
Patches kernel, informs user to setup and compile the kernel to use the module, and bulds/installs a separate module for it in addition to compiling all the necessary userspace stuff.

Expected Results:  
Patch the kernel and build the userspace stuff, but not build/install any module itself

Nevermind. I got the wrong idea for what the USE=kernel-patch meant for this ebuild...
