Bug 336159 – sys-kernel/pf-sources: needs K_SECURITY_UNSUPPORTED="1"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description nm (RETIRED) 2010-09-06 05:46:08 UTC]

Since pf-sources is not supported by the security project, you need to stick the following line close to the top of all the pf-sources ebuilds:

K_SECURITY_UNSUPPORTED="1"

See xbox-sources for an example, and read the security kernel subproject page:

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/security/kernel.xml

(On another note, I'm working to update the docs for kernel security project, kernel project, and kernel list pages for pf-sources, so that folks know we have this new kernel in Portage.)

It's already there :)

$ grep -n K_SECURITY pf-sources-2.6.35_p7.ebuild 
10:K_SECURITY_UNSUPPORTED="1"

Thanks for taking care of the docs :)
You could add zen-sources as well while you're at it.

Hah, now I get to RESO INVALID *you*! :)

It's already in the guide, alphabetized, so it's at the end of the "Unsupported" section. :D

Indeed. But I was talking about the page you gave me earlier:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/security/kernel.xml

:P
