Kernel 2.6.8-r3 gentto-dev-sources # config-kernel --output-dir=default results in: * Writing out changes to /etc/env.d/05kernel * Running env-update. You should run 'source etc/profile' to update * your environment, or log out and in again. * Error updating the environment Have just gone the koutput route after receiving ebuild fail and advice to use koutput on emerge lirc-0.7.0_pre7-r1 (became aware this bug reported afterwards). Contents of /etc/env.d/05kernel: (config-kernel -d) KBUILD_OUTPUT_PREFIX=/var/tmp/kernel-output AUTO_SYMLINK=no LINUX_PORTAGE_WRITABLE=no n.b. I appreciate it is possible I may have broken something, but would argue the errmsg not pointing me to what I might have broken is still a bug (albeit a lesser one than config-kernel being broken). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. follow instructions in Gentoo documentation for koutput after building 2.6.8 kernel Actual Results: (please see 'details' above) Expected Results: a) Returned 'completion success' type message b) Subsequently allowed emerge of lirc-0.7.0_pre7-r1 to run error free
maybe in relation to #65324
Update: Now suspect problem between chair and keyboard... Instructions on website not entirely clear but I think I should have run: # config-kernel --make-koutput=/usr/src/linux-2.6.8-gentoo-r3 ..before doing anything else, this command was not run. Rebuilding kernel, will report back success/failure shortly...
config-kernel is up for reqrite soon. the koutput stuff has been dropped in its original form. sorry for the problems.
