Bug 308907 – ltmodem fails to compile with kernel-2.6.33

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roger 2010-03-10 22:17:49 UTC]

There have been some variable renaming/moves/changes.

See additional comments for info along with attached patch(es) & ebuild(s).

Seems the fix was as simple as copying/migrating the patch file for kernel-2.6.32 from Bug #300047. :-/

Making some noise.  Lets get ltmodem-20090420 into the tree.

Here's an updated ebuild migrating the patch from kernel-2.6.32.

I pushed these changes back to Bug #300047 after I found the fix was a limitation with the "kernel_is" function within the ebuild.

"kernel_is" doesn't use the "> < =" symbols and only uses "ge, le, ...".

"kernel_is" is undocumented, and seems the docs state a lot more about using ${KV} for checking kernel versions!
