emerge -pv gentoo-dev-sources gives this: [ebuild N ] sys-kernel/config-kernel-0.3.3 7 kB [ebuild N ] sys-kernel/gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.5-r1 -build 0 kB i read on the forums that config-kernel is an accessory application to make creation of new configs and symlinks easier. this should be presented as an option in the USE flags since minimalist llamas like me don't necessarily want it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sync 2. emerge gentoo-dev-sources -pv 3. Actual Results: shows new package for config-kernel as a dep Expected Results: config-kernel is NOT a real dep, it should be optionally added with a USE flag like "+configkernel" Portage 2.0.50-r6 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3_pre20040207-r0, 2.6.0-gentoo-r1) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.0-gentoo-r1 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) Processor Gentoo Base System version 1.4.4 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /opt/tomcat/conf /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.pair.com/ http://adelie.polymtl.ca/ ftp://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://gentoo.netnitco.net" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X aalib alsa avi berkdb cdr cjk crypt doc encode flash foomaticdb gdbm gif gphoto2 gpm gtk2 imlib java jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod mmx motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib perl png postgres python quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcltk tcpd tetex tiff truetype x86 xml2 xv zlib"
this actually came in accidentally, although with the rest of the commit this is definately a neccessary dependancy. this will be quite mandatory in the future. Sorry for letting this seep into portage early as the more important parts dont work properly yet without the kmod and the remainder of the kernel-2 code. I will look into the future if were ever able to split out koutput but this will be quite unlikely due to the nature of the kbuild stuff. Thank you for expressing ytour interest and if your able to find a way to have this work without this as a dep please let me know and I shall make it so.
