The emerge of net-misc/openvswitch (multiple versions) fails with this message: * openvswitch-2.3.0.tar.gz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ... [ ok ] * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found kernel object directory: * /lib/modules/3.16.5-gentoo/build * Found sources for kernel version: * 3.16.5-gentoo * ERROR: net-misc/openvswitch-2.3.0-r1::gentoo failed (setup phase): * Linux >= 2.6.32 and <= 3.14 required for userspace modules I tried net-misc/openvswitch-2.0.0-r3 and net-misc/openvswitch-2.3.0-r1, both with the same result. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install and boot kernel sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-3.16.5 2.Try to emerge net-misc/openvswitch (in order to install the ovs kernel module) 3. Actual Results: My new 3.16 kernel has no network because it lacks the openvswitch module. See the error messages from the emerge below: * openvswitch-2.3.0.tar.gz SHA256 SHA512 WHIRLPOOL size ;-) ... [ ok ] * Determining the location of the kernel source code * Found kernel source directory: * /usr/src/linux * Found kernel object directory: * /lib/modules/3.16.5-gentoo/build * Found sources for kernel version: * 3.16.5-gentoo * ERROR: net-misc/openvswitch-2.3.0-r1::gentoo failed (setup phase): * Linux >= 2.6.32 and <= 3.14 required for userspace modules Expected Results: Openvswitch should be rebuilt and reinstalled successfully. The openvswitch ebuilds should be modified to accept higher kernel versions.
Okay, forget it. I just discovered that recent kernel sources now include the openvswitch kernel module, so I don't need the kernel module from the net-misc/openvswitch package. If this is correct, than you can close this ticket. But may I suggest to please make the ebuild print an advice on this? Thank you for the good work!
It does say it's a problem for useerspace :P kernel_is ge 2 6 32 || die "Linux >= 2.6.32 and <= 3.14 required for userspace modules" kernel_is le 3 14 || die "Linux >= 2.6.32 and <= 3.14 required for userspace modules"
