Description Isakov Alexandr 2007-10-08 17:18:39 UTC

I have patch eclass/linux-mod.eclass to support building kernel modules to all installed into /usr/src kernel sources.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make testing overlay
2. Copy original linux-mod.eclass to it
3. Apply path

Actual Results:  
After overlay would be enables in make.conf all ebuilds that use linux-mod begins to build kernel modules to all installed kernels.

This has nothing to do with portage.

Thanks for the patch!

This should be an option, rather than happening all the time. I'm not sure how you would enable it though.

If you'd like to put it forward for further consideration, please could you post the patch in unified diff format? (diff -u)

Updated version

Quick and dirty update to the patch. It use "modules-rebuild" FEATURE as trigger. I will improve quality a bit later.

I have a thought about eclass: Create a group of auxiliary functions setup/compile/install which get arguments(module_name and !kernel_source!) that build THAT module for THAT kernel. This would allow to split technical details and "choose kernel" logic. What do you think about it?

Comment 5 Lagu 2015-11-12 10:39:32 UTC

Hi, its posible enable this feature officially on portage? i think its a nice idea, specially when we have multiples kernels and we most compiling all again when we want use other...
