Bug 549442 – sys-kernel/genkernel-next hard-codes location of systemd's 99-default.link

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adrian Bassett 2015-05-14 09:22:20 UTC]

genkernel-next (/usr/share/genkernel/gen_initramfs.sh hard-codes the inclusion of /lib/systemd/network/99-default.link in the initramfs.  However, systemd installs that file as /usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link:

$ equery belongs 99-default.link
 * Searching for 99-default.link ... 
sys-apps/systemd-219_p112 (/usr/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link)

Perhaps gen_initramfs.sh should be changed to refer to the correct location (although its absence in the initramfs doesn't appear to be problematic)?

This would avoid the following noise from a kernel build:

cp: cannot stat ‘/lib/systemd/network/99-default.link’: No such file or directory
* cannot copy /lib/systemd/network/99-default.link from udev


Reproducible: Always

I get that error.

[Comment 2 Pacho Ramos 2016-05-23 15:03:04 UTC]

is this valid with version 64?

Using version 64 genkernel.log has: 

>> Appending udev cpio data...
* cannot copy /lib/systemd/network/99-default.link from udev

Try then to report it directly to upstream:

Thanks

Thanks for signaling it.

That should be fixed with sys-kernel/genkernel-next-65 .
