Bug 6810 – gentoos-sources-r8 will not merge

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arun Thomas (RETIRED) 2002-08-21 00:04:25 UTC]

Emerge complains that it could not download 2.4.19-gentoo-r8.patch.bz2. This
patch does not appear to be on the ibiblio server.

[Comment 1 Arun Thomas (RETIRED) 2002-08-21 11:42:43 UTC]

Also, shouldn't the line

SRC_URI="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-${OKV}.tar.bz2 
http://www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles/${KV}.patch.bz2"


be the following:

SRC_URI="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-${OKV}.tar.bz2 
http://www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/distfiles/linux-gentoo-${KV}.patch.bz2" ?

All the previous kernel patches seem to start with linux-gentoo.

I can merge the new kernel now. Thanks.

[Comment 3 Arun Thomas (RETIRED) 2002-08-22 15:47:24 UTC]

I spoke too soon. The patches were not applied. Since the patch is called
2.4.19-gentoo-r8.patch.bz2 and not linux-gentoo-2.4.19-gentoo-r8.patch.bz2, a
line must be changed from

cat ${DISTDIR}/linux-gentoo-${KV}.patch.bz2 | bzip2 -d | patch -p1 || die

to

cat ${DISTDIR}/${KV}.patch.bz2 | bzip2 -d | patch -p1 || die

Alternatively, the patch name can be changed, so that is consistent with the
other patch names.

Created attachment 3317 [details, diff]
fixes kernel source directory name

The ebuild currently leaves the kernel source directory named linux-2.4.19. It
should probably be called linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r8. This patch fixes that. I
assume this is probably what we want.

[Comment 5 Arun Thomas (RETIRED) 2002-08-22 16:32:21 UTC]

My patch also incorporates the change in comment #3.

-r8 is a non-entity... please use 2.4.19-r9
