As Jocob says, I don't use genkernel

Do you think I should reopen the bug?

Thanks,

 Because making a initrd is a pain in the ass, and he probably doesn't want

 use genkernel.

Hi all.

I'm trying to apply the workaround suggested in the BUG at
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=268285

I've changed the file accordingly, however, everytime I emerge mkinitrd, the
file (obviously) get overwritten.

I tried to search, but didn't find anything...

Is there an emerge flag to instruct emerge to compile what it finds in /var
instead of downloading it?

Thanks,
Massimiliano

The bug is still open, so perhaps voting for it would help (I did).

To try it out once, you can do it like this:

ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/mkinitrd/mkinitrd-3.5.7-r3.ebuild unpack
change things in /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/mkinitrd-3.5.7-r3
ebuild /usr/portage/sys-apps/mkinitrd/mkinitrd-3.5.7-r3.ebuild merge

The cleaner way would be to modify the ebuild and put it into your overlay 
(along with the modified mkinitrd-3.5.7-dietssp.patch), but on the other 
hand the bug might already be fixed anyway when you emerge the package the 
next time.
