Bug 154924 – sys-fs/evms-2.5.5-r3 release patches necessary for kernels >= 2.6.17

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Brad Allen 2006-11-12 12:26:26 UTC]

Some important new release patches have been released for EVMS-2.5.5, including some bug fixes necessary for Linux kernels starting at 2.6.17 (includes 2.6.18).  These are considered release-level patches (bug fixes), not developmental nor experimental.

Because of the importance of these patches, I have created this new bug report with an appropriate severity.  Note that in some systems, this is actually a BLOCKER for Linux kernels 2.6.17 onward, since it makes filesystems unavailable and the system won't even be able to boot in many cases (the simple get_geometry.patch).  However, since it does not affect all configurations, it may be tolerable to leave it keyworded (~x86, etc.) for an appropriate level of time, as is evms-2.5.5-r2 currently.

I have updated the evms ebuild conservatively to contain these new patches.  What follows are the appropriate attachments:  ebuild, and patches.  None of these patches are considered experimental.

Marking this bug as blocking 152293, since 152293 contains experimental stuff in it that is inappropriate to consider without first pushing this release-level bug through.
