Bug 103082 – usermode-sources-2.6.12-r2.ebuild (update)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Karl H 2005-08-19 12:37:28 UTC]

Updated the ebuild to use the latest patch set (uml-2.6.12-bs11)  from
http://www.user-mode-linux.org/~blaisorblade/patches/guest/

Tested in my local portage overlay, builds and runs well.

Location in portage:  sys-kernel/usermode-sources

We should update to the latest genpatches for security reasons too. How about if
you change this line:
  K_GENPATCHES_VER="8"

to:
  K_GENPATCHES_VER="13"

This will probably cause a patch collision in 2.6.12.3, in which case you can
add this line directly below:
  UNIPATCH_EXCLUDE="1003_linux-2.6.12.3.patch"

Excluding the whole 2.6.12.3 isn't ideal, but its the best we can easily achieve.

Yes, 2.6.12.3  causes a colision with the uml-2.6.12-bs11 patch set.  The
UNIPATCH_EXCLUDE="1003_linux-2.6.12.3.patch"  makes it apply cleany, not ideal 
but makes it work. I will post the new ebuild attachment with the change.

Thanks for testing that. Committed to CVS. For 2.6.13 and onwards we'll have a
better way to exclude conflicting patches.
