Bug 762766 – sys-kernel/raspberrypi-sources-5.4.79_p20201201[symlink]: wrong symlink in /usr/src

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Another Mortal 2020-12-31 10:35:40 UTC]

Something got messed up with naming/versioning and the ebuild creates a dangling symlink preventing kernel-dependent packages from finding the relevant configuration...

eselect kernel seems to handle this fine, so it's just USE=symlink and the snapshot

Here's a patch but not convinced it's 100% right, hope it helps anyway.
rt-sources also uses KV_FULL for comparison.

Probably not worth it until a version bump, but renaming the tarball to linux-... and using kernel-2's native src_unpack() to move the source directory to regular linux-${KV_FULL} may make more sense (might require fiddling with other variables, haven't tried).

Thankz for the symlink.

But I think it was still not configuring properly.
This patch grows on yours with some configuring.
It uses either `cat /proc/cpuinfo` or a
BOARD variable can be passed by /etc/portage/make.conf,	like BOARD="pi4-64"
I think this should stabilize it too....

A pre patched ebuild can be found here, for quick testing maybe.
