Description Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2020-01-12 11:10:12 UTC
kernel-2.eclass uses lexicographical string version compare:

    eclass/kernel-2.eclass:	if [[ ${K_SYMLINK} > 0 ]]; then
    eclass/kernel-2.eclass:			if [[ ${KV_MAJOR} -ge 3 || ${KV_MAJOR}.${KV_MINOR}.${KV_PATCH} > 2.6.24 ]] ; then
    eclass/kernel-2.eclass:		if [[ ${KV_MAJOR} -ge 3 || ${KV_MAJOR}.${KV_MINOR}.${KV_PATCH} > 2.6.28 ]]; then
    eclass/kernel-2.eclass:	if [[ -n ${KV_MINOR} &&  ${KV_MAJOR}.${KV_MINOR}.${KV_PATCH} < 2.6.27 ]] ; then

The intention is likely to use 'ver_cmp'. See bug #705240 for hints to fix it.

    kernel-2.eclass: avoid lexicographical compare on versions, bug #705246
    
    Originally found in bug #705240 as:
    
    ```
    if [[ ... || ${KV_MAJOR}.${KV_MINOR}.${KV_PATCH} > 2.6.28 ]]; then
    ```
    
    '>' are string comparisons. They are benign so far, but
    will start failing on linux-10 :)
    
    Let's be consistent and use version comparison.

Messed up syntax in one of conditionals. Reverted as https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/commit/?id=d5abea00d6d178139414ccc845a77d4c3e0e1f29
