Hi guys, i found the painfull way that kernel eclass does not die if it fails to unpack patch file supplied to it.
So i propose the patch i attach for inclusion :) Result with this patch: >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking linux-2.6.35.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.35-r2/work >>> Unpacking genpatches-2.6.35-8.base.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.35-r2/work/patches/000001 >>> Unpacking genpatches-2.6.35-8.extras.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.35-r2/work/patches/000002 bzip2: /var/tmp/portage/sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.35-r2/distdir/tuxonice-3.2-rc2-for-2.6.35.patch.bz2 is not a bzip2 file. * ERROR: sys-kernel/tuxonice-sources-2.6.35-r2 failed: * uncompressing patch failed Without patch: patchfile gets ignored and you might fail to notice it (as it happened to me since i use different workbox and commit box and upstream gladly for fetching returns html code instead of good old 404). Cheers Tomas
