hey all, in my work on bug #32737 for external module compilation, i've come upon one or two instances of problems with kernel module ebuilds. Wanted to shoot out a quick reminder/announcement about it.
Kernel module ebuilds should *always* pull their information from
/usr/src/linux/ and not from using `uname` or looking in /proc, etc.
Ebuilds need to remain as "location agnostic" as possible so that liveCD
building and other things people might be doing do not affect things.
(image someone doing a bunch of ebuild installations for some kernel so
they can tar up the bzImage and /lib/modules/${KV} for another box using
portage.)
So whenever possible, please grab all your info from /usr/src/linux
Thanks for listening to my mini-rant. (:
