ebuild for kernel-merged version of usbip userspace tools

net-misc/usbip userspace utilities were merged in the kernel as of 3.0. I have updated the ebuild to use the in-kernel version instead.

Based off the dev-util/perf ebuild. Compile-tested only. Unfortunately the kernel version, just like the sourceforge one, still requires the sysfsutils.  Kernel Bugzilla is still down as of 12/24/2011.

ebuild for kernel-merged version of usbip userspace tools

Actually upon looking further the opions referenced in the end are called USBIP_VHCI_HCD and USBIP_HOST, and not USB_IP_VHCI_HCD and USB_IP_HOST (this error was in the original ebuild as well). I also added a CONFIG_CHECK for ~USBIP_CORE (I can't find a variation of CONFIG_CHECK that does "any" instead of "all", but both option require it and its unlikely that option would be enabled without at least 1 of the other 2 being enabled)

Maybe it would be worth considering to include usbip in linux-misc-apps. CC'ing maintainer.

I've bumped the separate usbip. I still support the idea of merging this into the linux-misc-apps package but I'm not working on it.
Comment 5 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-02-18 07:45:50 UTC
usbip is part of linux-misc-apps, neither of them seems to be actively maintained, so i've dropped the separate version for now
Comment 6 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2015-03-17 16:54:36 UTC
usbip has been dropped from linux-misc-apps, so reopening in case anybody is interested in merging the ebuilds again.

Quickly hacked together and marginally tested ebuild.

Feel free to take it and run with it.
