-love4 wasn't officially released, so you didn't miss it

Love4 had lots of issues, so I didn't release it on the public. If you hung out on our IRC channel, you'd have heard all about it. Love5 seems very fast and stable and works with gcc 3.4.

just beeing curious: why is it called "Sardine release" (been looking in your fridge ?) 
Maybe the right place to thank for the extremly good quality (hmm, maybe not love-3) and quick reaction to forum posts ...
Thats what I like in general about gentoo ..
Cheers |

@grzewho:
I forgot to mention lirc, but yes it's in there.
@Kangaroo
The names are irrelevant to anything. I name it whatever pops into my head. Sardine seemed to fit that bill.

Which version of gcc are you using? It contains fixes for gcc 3.4, which, I think, might break support for gcc 3.2.

Which gcc version are you using? Someone already had this problem on IRC with 3.2.3. I think he was going to upgrade to 3.3.2 and see if that fixed it.

I'll back out the v4l patches. The new patch should be up sometime today.

| I'm on love2 right now which I haven't had any problems on. I need those v4l devices so I can't just disable them. But if you back those patches out I'll try compiling again. |

Hi, I was the person in IRC that got the errors too.
The problem is that there are some files, related with v4l, that have the code duplicated, I erased the first half of the files manually, and the modules compiled OK. I`m not sure if they work properly yet, but they should. I separated the 1st and second part of some of them and no difference was found, so I decided to cut the first half...
| Code: |
drivers/media/common/ir-common.c
include/media/ir-common.h
drivers/media/video/bttv-i2c.c
drivers/media/video/bttv-gpio.c
drivers/media/video/ir-kbd-i2c.c
drivers/media/video/ir-kbd-gpio.c
|
Those files could be different if you enabled other options or have a different card/chip that me. |

And I was about to panic as well. I was thinking I missed a -love release!
Uh, I think I'm addicted to Gentoo and the forums.

btw, how do I manually remove packages from the installed list? when I try to do 'emerge -C love-sources-2.6.1_rc2-r1 love-sources-2.6.1-r1 love-sources-2.6.1-r3', which arent installed anymore and ive got rid of the ebuilds, i get:
| Code: | Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/emerge", line 2194, in ?
if 1==unmerge(myaction, myfiles):

raise KeyError, "Specific key requires an operator (%s)" % (mydep)
KeyError: 'Specific key requires an operator (sys-kernel/love-sources-2.6.1_rc2-r1)' |
How do I get rid of them manually?

I've always unmerged all love-sources, then emerged the new one.

I've updated the ebuild and patch to reflect a couple of changes.
1. The patch itself is now -p1, instead of -p2
2. The v4l patches have been backed out, all the cards should work now
3. I added gcloop as a special request
You will have to delete the old ebuild and patch, then redigest. It should be self explanatory from there.
Good Luck and Happy Compiling!
