Description devsk 2006-11-27 08:43:30 UTC

ivtv fails to build on my machine because I am using kernel 2.6.17. It cribs about VIDEO_CX2341X which is of course only present in >=2.6.18. It is fine to fail but a more user friendly message that I need to emerge 0.7.1 would be better.

Either

ebuild should check for kernel before linux-mod_pkg_setup and inform the user that he should build 0.7.1 instead

OR

portage should mask out the version > 0.7.1 if kernel is < 2.6.18. This may not be as straightforward, but is cleaner.
