Created attachment 371262 [details]
ck-sources-3.4.82.ebuild

Ebuild for the 3.4.82 release.

Based on :

- 3.4-ck3 patchset including bfs-424

Comment 2 Eric F. GARIOUD 2014-02-25 23:05:23 UTC

Created attachment 371264 [details, diff]
ck-sources-3.4.81-update_cpu_load-aCOSwt_P9.patch

Patch providing to bfs.c the necessary description of update_cpu_load_nohz introduced by the 3.4.82 linux patchset.

Comment 3 Eric F. GARIOUD 2014-02-25 23:14:54 UTC

The 3.4.81 linux patchset introduces a new function which breaks the build of ck patched kernels.
This function is useless to bfs and is not security related.
From there the trivial patch attached fixing the build in the exact same spirit of the calc_load_idle patch that was pushed in the 3.4.9 times.

Oh yes. Repoman complains about this since... since you made 2.6.38 ebuild EAPI_5...
BTW I have been supporting this release for the unique reason that > 3 versions were showing some significant performance regression.
Since 3.8, things are going far better and I get no system left on 2.6.38

So my opinion is that we can simply drop 2.6.38
Unless some BKL nostalgic voices his concern, in which case, I'll fix the ebuild.

Accepted. 2.6.38 is really old.

+  04 Mar 2014; Sergey Popov <pinkbyte@gentoo.org> -ck-sources-2.6.38-r3.ebuild:
+  Drop old version as suggested by proxied maintainer in bug #502442

Comment 7 Eric F. GARIOUD 2014-03-04 14:23:23 UTC

Thanks Sergey!
BTW, could I respectfully push the light on Bug 503142.
No custom patch, everything straightforward...

Let's gentoo-ck-sources be the first to offer a 3.13... !
