Description ferret 2004-04-25 21:50:46 UTC
... 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 :)
Comment 1 ferret 2004-04-26 21:07:16 UTC
ok, now all of them but 16-r2 are gone (I just synced again)...
Comment 2 Greg Kroah-Hartman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-27 08:02:30 UTC
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.
Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-06-10 18:24:33 UTC
amd64 is the only arch that needs to update ...
Comment 4 ferret 2004-06-26 08:36:11 UTC
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.
Comment 6 ferret 2004-06-26 09:38:23 UTC
In that case please delete udev-016-r2.ebuild :)

Now deleted, closing this bug.
