Yes, thank you. I did the local repository path at the moment. I was
thinking on pushing the patch upstream, but now I read on the ebuild I'm
editing (using the check kernel_is :) ) :
if use kernel_linux && kernel_is ge 4 7; then
ewarn "Gentoo supports kernels which are supported by NVIDIA"
ewarn "which are limited to the following kernels:"
ewarn "<sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.7"
ewarn "<sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-4.7"
ewarn ""
ewarn "You are free to utilize epatch_user to provide whatever"
ewarn "support you feel is appropriate, but will not receive"
ewarn "support as a result of those changes."
ewarn ""
ewarn "Do not file a bug report about this."
ewarn ""
fi
So basically I will not have support. I didn't care about this warning when
I went for fixing the issues. But seeing that the patch was simple I though
on share it somehow...
Best regards,
Natanael.
