Trying to emerge ipw2100-0.52 on a koutput-compliant system fails, because the ebuild looks for .config in /usr/src/linux instead of the configured output directory like /var/tmp/kernel-outpu/{KV} Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
koutput is depreciated and no longer used maintained. This is because of the build system fixes that the kernel developers commited to the 2.6.6 kernel. As as result, it is no longer supported by Gentoo Mobile team. Below is the post to gentoo-dev mailing list by the creator of the koutput system. Hey all, Been busy with lots of other things, and dreading sending this anyway, but I wanted to clear things up Re: the koutput/kbuild stuff that I'd worked on to fix some problems previously related to 2.6 kernel build issues. Unfortunately, the fix that was 95% implemented, and had the beginnings of code in the tree got ham-strung by a combination of kernel stuff changing under my/our feet, and Real Life (tm) things coming in at just the wrong time. As a result, the kmod.eclass, and config-kernel have several problems, and are only 1/2 implemented anyway. Sooo, don't use kmod.eclass. Just don't. config-kernel i will be package.masking as well soon. I know there are a few ebuilds out there that currently use kmod.eclass for a few things. I'll be contacting those maintainers over the next few days to address things with them, and get them sorted out with how to get things working with 2.6.6 and newer kernels. If you get any bugs from people complaining about such and such ebuild not working with koutput, assing or CC me, and i'll deal with it. Thanks. Sorry for any confusion folks. -pete
