When emerging kernels like mm-sources (starting as of 2.6.11), the patch failes to apply, since the Makefile has been changed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. copy mm-sources-2.6.11_rc5-r1.ebuild to mm-sources-2.6.11-r1.ebuild and run ebuild digest on it. 2. emerge it Actual Results: It fails to apply the mm patch Expected Results: It should apply the patch first, and then do the sed.
it would seem to be a pretty nasty design flaw in the eclass, i dont understand why one would wanna modify the kernel before all patches are applied....
this is fixed in cvs.
