pulling the kdb patch today, xfs adds it to there 
xfs-full patch. 
Comment 2 Bob Johnson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-05-11 23:40:14 UTC
will take care of kdb stuff when sgi releases a decent version again 
Comment 3 Brian Jackson (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-27 11:55:46 UTC
still a problem? looks like a bugzilla error.
Comment 4 Max Loparyev 2003-09-28 23:12:56 UTC
no kdb - no problem
good method!
btw, because lack of activity in xfs-sources I switched to ac-sources
