Hi,

the current sys-kernel/git-sources won't apply to 3.10_rc4 since
Linus didn't produce a patch (to 3.9.0) but only the full tar-ball.
How to modify the ebuild (kernel eclass) to make this work?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut.

Made a patch for this one such that it behaves no different other than obtaining the patch from a different host.

+  03 Jun 2013; Tom Wijsman <TomWij@gentoo.org> +git-sources-3.10_rc4.ebuild:
+  Linux patch 3.10_rc4; generated by difference between unpacked
+  linux-3.9.tar.xz and linux-3.10-rc4.tar.xz contents (diff -urN linux-3.9
+  linux-3.10-rc4), rehosted on Gentoo Infrastructure.

Let's see whether patches will be brought to future kernels before we adjust.
