Hi,
I was wondering if there's any chance of having the reiser4 patch for
grub (or even the whole grub-reiser4 distfile) added to the ebuild.
There are various bugs where people have posted patches for 0.96x
ebuilds which were never added and the bugs have been WONTFIXed or
left dangling. I've been using grub+reiser4 for about 9 months now
with no problems. The last reason I heard it wouldn't be added was
that no kernels in portage support it; I believe that's not true
anymore, at least mm-sources has reiser4.
The grub maintainer's stance was that reiser 4 support would not be
included in grub until it was included in gentoo-sources, not any kernel
in portage. The grub maintainer has been AWOL for the last 9 months or
so however, so i guess it's now up to the base-system herd. I was under
the impression that feature-adding patches should be sent upstream.
I still think it's retarded to have a reiser 4 boot partition, but
whatever stirs your pot. ;P
