Bug 149412 – COLLISION_IGNORE: config option to collision-protect for specific paths

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Portage Development

[Description Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2006-09-28 06:43:29 UTC]

Special handling of /lib/modules files causes annoying collisions:

1. emerge <kernel-module>
2. emerge -C <kernel-module>
3. emerge <kernel-module> with same kernel version -> collision

or

1. emerge kernel
2. emerge <kernel-module>
3. set localversion for the same kernel, recompile kernel, run module-rebuild
4. when finished testing, run make mrproper, make modules_prepare, try to recompile kernel-module -> collision

Some way of disabling these collisions would be really handy.
