Bug 421531 – sys-apps/keyutils should check for CONFIG_KEYS

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

I'm getting the following test failure with sys-apps/keyutils-1.5.5:

After some digging around I think this happens because CONFIG_KEYS(*) is not set in my kernel. It would be nice if the ebuild would warn me of this, and possibly not run the tests if the kernel option is not enabled.

* I haven't tested yet if enabling this option actually helps, but it looks like it does. The keyutils documentation doesn't mention any kernel option at all... Also note that the kernel help text for this option mentions: "If you are unsure as to whether this is required, answer N."

It looks like CONFIG_KEYS_DEBUG_PROC_KEYS is also needed to run the full test suite.

Fixed in CVS
