Description Curtis Magyar 2004-05-02 19:36:14 UTC 
I decided to try my hand at upgrading gnome-utils to 2.6.2.  Had to patch gfloppy to not use the MAJOR() kernel macro, and to use major() from sys/sysmacros.h instead.  Also removed a #include<linux/fs.h> which was causing problems.

I'll attach the ebuild & patch.  Could someone let me know if everything looks okay?  This is my first ebuild/epatch.

it works patchless on my 2.6.3 kernel, what exact kernel are you using ?
Comment 4 Curtis Magyar 2004-05-04 20:15:49 UTC 
uname -r:
   2.6.5-gentoo

cat /usr/include/linux/version.h:
   #define UTS_RELEASE "2.6.5-gentoo"
   #define LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132613
   #define KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) (((a) << 16) + ((b) << 8) + (c))
Comment 5 Chris Smith 2004-07-13 10:36:17 UTC 
Patched worked fine but the ebuild needs "inherit eutils" or the patch doesn't get applied:

>>> Unpacking gnome-utils-2.6.2.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/gnome-utils-2.6.2/work
/usr/sbin/ebuild.sh: line 44: epatch: command not found

I think a more serious problem is that unless you're watching you wont see this error. For some reason the epatch line above does not get logged.

Okay, it -builds- on 2.4.x headers, but I have no possibility to check that it -works- there.

Can someone with a floppy please help out testing this? 

Requirement:
  2.4 kernel headers
  floppy device.

in the tree, please test on 2.4 kernel headers.
