in my own humble opinion, if there is a way to do this without touching the kernel, we might better opt for that. As it is, our kernels are patched with some pretty hefty diffs. The USE flag idea for a kernel is interesting though... "As it is, our kernels are patched with some pretty hefty diffs." Fair enough. I have tried to get the two required sources (i2c & lm_sensors) to build individually, but the "make" (there is not ./configure for these) step continually fails complaining about missing *.d files. I think this is because of autoconf but really don't have the knowledge to work out exactly what is going wrong. I'll update the ebuild for i2c & lm_sensors to 2.6.3, but, fo me at least, they won't work (while this way does). might have forgotten to assign this i2c bug to you. this one's a kernel diff approach. This is too unmaintainable... the patch set we apply against the gentoo sources list varys wildly, contains very large deltas, etc. Also recent changes means we'd have to patch several different trees. This should be kept out of the kernel source package as much as possible to be of use to as many people and not have it break every time kernel versions are bumped. Marking as invalid and I'm going to look at your i2c and lm_sensors package and focus on the seperate module building option. |
