Bug 134453 – use RESTRICT="binchecks strip" for kernels and linux-headers

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-05-26 14:11:28 UTC]

Please, use RESTRICT="binchecks strip" there, so that portage doesn't waste time on redundant checks (see Bug 133804). There's no business for scanelf or stripping w/ pure source code and the checks take quite some time actually. Thanks.

This would have to be fixed in kernel-2.eclass. Reassigning to johnm.

John, if you want me to take care of it I will.

dsd pointed me here. Note this is a 2.1 feature only and looks totally
safe to use within the eclass for now. If however anything outside of
sys-kernel start inheriting kernel-2 we will need to find another
approach.

brix, you might as well take care of it as johnm has been a little 
hard to get ahold of recently.

Tested with =sys-apps/portage-2.1_rc3 and =sys-apps/portage-2.0.54-r2 and committed to CVS.

Thank you for reporting this :)

I think if anything starts to inherit kernel-2 outside of headers and sources we have a bit of an issue :)

Thanks Henrik.
