things like the Makefile are missing. (this is sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r9)
Looking into it...
hrm... seems to merge fine here... can you log the merge process?
do i just: emerge gentoo-sources > /var/tmp/logfile 2>&1 ? or is there another way? i didn't see it under the man page, at least when i searched for log. fwiw --- vanilla-sources does it too. i have verified that the make file goes into /var/tmp/portage/linux-sources-2.4.19-r1/work/ or at least thats what i remember, it was a little while ago.
merf... yes that is a decent way of logging it... but actually can you just tell me what grep 9/Makefile /var/db/pkg/sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.4.19-r9/CONTENTS returns?
hold on, its re-emerging, ive got it logging and will let you know what that says in a second.
grep thing: obj /usr/src/linux-2.4.19-gentoo-r9/Makefile wtf? now its there. this is weird. no emerge sync this time either. odd. um, i guess never mind.
