[Comment 3 Mike Pagano 2013-07-29 23:51:34 UTC]

I get rejects on this Benda. Can you check your patch against the latest kernel-2.eclass?

Ah-ha, there seems to be an update after I submitted the patch.

Refreshed. Please check.

Thanks Mike, and excuse me for the delay.

Planning to review this among other changes very soon.

Hey Tom. How's it going? The Prefix patch is a trivial one.

Here is another patch, to avoid chowning when not running as root (saves more than 1246 minutes of errors on a raspberry).

Ping kernel team.

[Comment 10 Mike Pagano 2016-05-23 23:34:50 UTC]

I'm going to have to apply and run this for the next round of updates.  

Should this go to -dev for formal abuse?

[Comment 11 Benda Xu 2016-06-15 10:52:39 UTC]

Landed after discussions on gentoo-dev.

Feel free to revert it if anything goes wrong.

Thanks all.
