Hello, As Diego pointed out in bug #374807 [1], a simple package (not a kernel module) should not enforce any kernel options during the build process. As of no reply on the bug, I'm posting my question here.
Should it just use '~' and warn then? Or should it re-do the checks in pkg_preinst(), this time making the checks fatal? Or maybe it should only perform them there? Also, I think I've seen ebuilds doing kernel checks in pkg_pretend(). I did that once too but now I think that's wrong because kernel sources are not guaranteed to be installed at that point. I am right? [1]:http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374807 -- Best regards, Michał Górny
