Bug 333959 – [PATCH] app-emulation/virtualbox-modules-3.2.8 breaks under linux 2.6.36

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description 404 Error 2010-08-22 12:50:51 UTC]

app-emulation/virtualbox-modules fails to build under Linux 2.6.36 (-rc1 at this time). A patch has been published (see http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.virtualbox.devel/3126 ).

Here is a functional ebuild incorporating the necessary and the polished patches.



Reproducible: Always




Please note that app-emulation/virtualbox-ose needs some patching as well (also provided).

Why this bug is resolved with test-request?

My error sorry.

Patches are still functional with -rc3.

Confirmed with -rc3-r4, thank you for this patch!

-rc5: working :)

[Comment 11 Thomas Capricelli 2010-10-07 15:43:34 UTC]

Works well, but it's tedious to have to do it all again, for each kernel update... can't this be commited ? at least to some overlay ?

What exactly do you want? It's clear that virtualbox-modules needs to be rebuilt for every kernel upgrade, so it would be a sane decision to keep the modified ebuild floating around in your personal overlay as long as this isn't fixed.

mm, i dont have a 'personnal overlay', i'm not a developer, just a user...
ok,ok... i'll see how to make me one.

It's not a miracle, somewhere around gentoo.org you will even find a guide. I'm not on the computer right now though to guide you there. A personal overlay is often useful to quickly fix temporary tree breakage, even if you are no developer ;-)

-rc7 working

[Comment 16 Andreas Sturmlechner 2010-10-11 20:05:29 UTC]

virtualbox-3.2.10 out now and bringing 2.6.36 fixes - patch should not be needed anymore.
