It's impossible to emerge third part modules from binary packages without kernel-sources installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.on HOST_A: emerge drbd-kernel; quickpkg drbd-kernel 2.on HOST_B: emerge --getbinpkgonly drbd-kernel 3. Actual Results: I've compiled this drbd-kernel on an other system and also build a tbz2 file. When I try to emerge this binary package on a "binary based installation", I get this message: >>> Emerging binary (1 of 2) sys-cluster/drbd-kernel-8.0.14 * drbd-kernel-8.0.14.tbz2 MD5 SHA1 size ;-) ... [ ok ] >>> Extracting info * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options... [ ok ] * These sources have not yet been prepared. * We cannot build against an unprepared tree. * To resolve this, please type the following: * * # cd /usr/src/linux * # make oldconfig * # make modules_prepare * * Then please try merging this module again. Expected Results: - Why this kernel-source check? - Is there a way to ignore the kernel-source check for theses third part modules? I've put this bug in "Enhancement" because I'm able to install my binpak after an emerge gentoo-sources, cp .config , make * ... But the reason I use binary packages is to avoid the usage of any sources on my target systems ;) /X
