Description Christopher Sawtell 2005-04-10 04:21:55 UTC

emerging 2.6.12-rc2  puts the sources in a dir called 2.6.11-rc2

not much more to say.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge vanilla-sources
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I got a kernel sources dir. called linux-2.6.11-rc2 

Expected Results:  
emerge should have created  linux-2.6.12-rc2  

It's probably a typo of 11 instead of 12 somewhere.  
Sorry, but I'm not sufficiently au fait with the ebuild system to find it. 
 
imho it should be fixed without delay.

Comment 1 Jean-Sebastien Guay 2005-04-10 20:00:58 UTC

Confirmed here. On my alpha machine, I did

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~alpha" emerge vanilla-sources

which emerged the package vanilla-sources-2.6.12-rc2, but which was placed in /usr/src/linux-2.6.11-rc2.

I have 4 sources that confirm it's really 2.6.12-rc2 :
a) uname -a says 
    Linux alpha 2.6.12-rc2 #2 Sat Apr 9 22:41:19 EDT 2005 alpha EV56 Alcor 
    GNU/Linux
b) the dir it created in /lib/modules is called 2.6.12-rc2
c) at the logon screen it also says 2.6.12-rc2
d) the first 4 lines of the Makefile are 
    VERSION = 2
    PATCHLEVEL = 6
    SUBLEVEL = 12
    EXTRAVERSION =-rc2

Probably a typo...

this should all be fixed as of last night.
please emerge sync and try again.
