[gentoo-user] emerge fetch grabs wrong file!?
Hi group, Will somebody please explain this: kyzyl heathen # emerge -afv klibc These are the packages that would be fetched, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N] dev-libs/klibc-1.5.12-r1 USE=-debug (-n32) 48,765 kB Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 48,765 kB Would you like to fetch the source files for these packages? [Yes/No] yes Fetching (1 of 1) dev-libs/klibc-1.5.12-r1 Downloading 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2' --10:47:13-- http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2 = `/usr/portage/distfiles/linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2' ... Whatever portage is fetching is turning into something I didn't order. I checked in distfiles and sure enough, there's no klibc* but a growing linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2. Weird.

That file is required for klibc. From the ebuild notes: NOTES: == We need to bring in the kernel sources seperately Because they have to be configured in a way that differs from the copy in /usr/src/. The sys-kernel/linux-headers are too stripped down to use unfortunetly. This will be able to go away once the klibc author updates his code to build again the headers provided by the kernel's 'headers_install' target.

That file is required for klibc. From the ebuild notes: Yes, I saw that too, but 1) why doesn't it list it from the start? 2) the 2.6.28 source is already in my box, and it wants the 26? Oh well, there goes my phone line for 5 more hrs sob! mw __ Be smarter than spam. See how smart SpamGuard is at giving junk email the boot with the All-new Yahoo! Mail.

From the ebuild notes: Yes, I saw that too, but 1) why doesn't it list it from the start? Q: How many packages have you ever installed that have multiple SRC_URIs and portage has given you a list of them up front? A: None. You need emerge -pvf for that 2) the 2.6.28 source is already in my box, and it wants the 26? Read the ebuild notes. It fetches 26 because the ebuild says it must fetch 26, not any old version you feel like. Why 26 specifically? Well, headers can change between versions. Obviously, either a) the developer's code will only build against that particular version or b) the developer feels that's the safest version. It's all right there in the notes - the very ones you chose the snip out of your reply.. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com

Your confusion may be from this: it is not emerging a kernel package, it is simply downloading the kernel sources as part of the klibc package.
