win4lin-sources-2.6.7-r4.ebuild (with hack)
There's no need to resort to hacks here. Johnm already has the kernel-2.eclass patch to allow the so-called explicit patchlevels which will fix this problem once and for all. Just wait for him to commit the patch and the problem will be solved. It might be a hack but it works. As far as I can tell win4lin-sources-2.6.7-r<4.ebuild didn't. I think win4lin-sources-2.6.7-r4.ebuild should be published as the present stable win4lin-sources ebuild doesn't work with win4lin. When the proper solution is available, there can always be a win4lin-sources-2.6.7-r5.ebuild. the new win4lin-sources-2.6.7-r4.ebuild also does not work .. how long does it take to get Johnm's patch in place? ebuild still places the mki-adapter26-old in the upper level directories, NOT where it belongs as ../arch/i386/mki-adapter26 had to patch the new build by hand again the NEW win4lin-sources-2.6.7-r4 ebuild is the one just released today not the one attached in this bug .. another security update release and still no decent fix for our patching problem .. Does any one know why we are having this mess go on and on? Fix now in -r4; it should reach the rsync mirrors soon - please reopen this bug if it still does not work. Thanks! |
