The eselect news format doesn't allow us to restrict the news like we would like, but we realized it after it was committed. Now that 1.6 is stable, there's not much point to fix it @alpha, if you guys want/care to make changes (if any), go ahead. If not, feel free to close it. Thanks The problem is not about Alpha arch, but, for all non Alpha users :) Isn't the $ARCH accessible from the ebuild ? I am not a dev, so, i have no clue. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=1 if ${ARCH} == "alpha" or == "~alpha" then ewarn foobar else don't bother other users The message would be more helpfull if: - it stated explicitely it is telling about the Alpha ARCHITECTURES - it gave the exact SYMBOLS required in the kernel; this would be very helpfull (as Alpha user, about to re-install a Gentoo soon, i will need to build X and a kernel, so, in a few weeks, i may face this problem) I don't intend for removal of message, but make it better explicit, and conditionnal :) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 277619 *** |
