... since /sbin/rc now relies on the existence of /sbin/udevstart Those older versions simply don't have that executable, so they're unusable and should be zapped from the portage tree :)
ok, now all of them but 16-r2 are gone (I just synced again)...
16-r2 is needed as some arches have that as the only stable version marked. I'll work on bugging the other maintainers to allow me to delete that version.
amd64 is the only arch that needs to update ...
Soemthing needs doing about this. Right now, if I were to try and install gentoo stable on an amd64 system with udev, the system would not boot. If you look in /sbin/rc on a stable amd64 system, it tries to call /sbin/udevstart. On the same stable amd64 system, there won't *be* a /sbin/udevstart. There are two obvious ways to fix this. 1) Unmask one of the higher udev versions (perhaps there's a really good reason for not doing this, I don't know. I don't have an amd64 box). 2) ~amd64 keyword mask all the recent versions of baselayout which contain a /sbin/rc that calls udevstart
udev-25-r1 is already marked stable on amd64 siunce 2004/06/19. ferret: You probably need to emerge sync to get the latest changes.
In that case please delete udev-016-r2.ebuild :)
Now deleted, closing this bug.
