ebuild patch (doins ...)
+ 27 Sep 2009; Patrick Lauer <patrick@gentoo.org> memtest86+-4.00.ebuild: + Installing kernel instead of elf binary. Fixes #286644 I changed the postinst message too to reflect the changed name. Sorry, I've overlooked it. This bug should actually be INVALID. Furthermore, the "fixed" ebuild is now buggy since it gives wrong information. Previously, it said per elog to use: kernel --type=freebsd /boot/memtest86plus/memtest in Grub. That works just fine. That's the part where this bug is INVALID. Now, the fixed ebuild says: kernel --type=freebsd /boot/memtest86plus/memtest.bin That does *not* work. This change breaks starting memtest from syslinux (isolinux etc.). I filed bug 290452 about it. |
memtest.bin (file: Linux x86 kernel) should be installed into /boot/memtest86plus instead of memtest (file: ELF 32-bit LSB executable...) ebuild patch follows :-)
