Hi, this morning I was trying to emerge ipset (in order to use with sidmat) and got this instead of the executable:
>>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking ipset-6.20.1.tar.bz2 to >>> /var/tmp/portage/net-firewall/ipset-6.20.1/work >>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/net-firewall/ipset-6.20.1/work >>> Preparing source in >>> /var/tmp/portage/net-firewall/ipset-6.20.1/work/ipset-6.20.1 ... * Sorry, but you have to patch kernel sources with the following patch: * # cd /usr/src/linux * # patch -i /var/tmp/portage/net-firewall/ipset-6.20.1/work/ipset-6.20.1/netlink.patch -p1 * You should recompile and run new kernel to avoid runtime errors. * ERROR: net-firewall/ipset-6.20.1::gentoo failed (prepare phase): * Unpatched kernel * I am runnung Linux 4.1.4 vanilla and asking myself, whether this patch is still be needed and whether there are other ways to accomplish what ipset would do ... I dont like the idea of patching the kernel in order to get some minor user land tools to run... Are there any other ways to acchieve the same ? Best regards, Meino
