 Posted: Tue May 30, 2006 12:10 pm Post subject: Beyond-Dev-Sources: 2.6.17-beyond-git2 [USE NEW OVERLAY] |
 |
|
========================================
DISCLAIMER: I'm tired of these long disclaimers. So:
If you inted to bug gentoo devs about -beyond, keep in mind:
i know where you live! Short: don't do it 
========================================
DO NOT USE THE OVERLAY (ebuild+eclass) FROM 2.6.16 SERIES!
Beyond Dev Sources
From the makers of -archck, and -nitro. iphitus and Tiger683
beyond-dev-sources is a testbed for many patches pending for inclusion into stable beyond-sources,
or for those simply too experimental to ever get into stable.
The only way to obtain them is for now the -git distribution method (see howto on the bottom),
snapshots MIGHT start showing up now and then (i would appreciate if anyone from the community could make this
more often than i will, you have our permission to make snapshots available, post links into this thread )
With snapshots i mean usual patches for use with a standard (non-git) ebuild.
If you use wget to download files from our server, use the "--user-agent=WHATEVER" as command line option
at the _end_ of the command! example: "wget http://someaddres/somefile --user-agent=MyFunkyUserAgent"
GENTOO USERS:
Before you proceed, emerge dev-util/git with useflags "webdav curl" and then emerge cogito..
NON GENTOO:
Make sure to obtain git and cogito packages for your distribution that support curl and webdav

| Howto install wrote: |
gentoo:
Use the linked overlay.
Create a new overlay directory, add it to PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable in make.conf,
| unmask this package: | | echo "sys-kernel/beyond-dev-sources -*" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords |
and emerge
__warning__: to avoid clashes with beyond-sources ebuild, the unstable branch is called beyond-dev-sources.
so:
emerge beyond-dev-sources
other distros:
cd /usr/src
mkdir linux-2.6.17-beyond-dev
rm linux
ln -s linux-2.6.17-beyond-dev linux
wget http://beyond-sources.generation.no/beyond-dev.seed/seed-2.tar.bz2 --user-agent=Opera
wget http://beyond-sources.generation.no/beyond-dev.seed/seed-2.md5sum --user-agent=Opera
md5sum -c seed-2.md5sum
cd linux
tar xvjf ../seed-2.tar.bz2
# this restores kernel source tree
cg-restore
#this updates to latest git changes:
cg-update origin
# If the above command wont work, try cg-update http://beyond-sources.generation.no/scm/beyond-dev.git#master
make menuconfig
Make sure to disable the option

Yay, kickass work! go beyond!
Expect a stable 2.6.17 once 2.6.17 is out.

Just as a sidenote: nvidia-kernel package behaves _really_ wanky with this kernel at compiletime.
If it compiles once it works fine after that.
I've made it compile without symbol warnings by reemerging all over and over again while env-update'ing
and source'ing /etc/profile inbetween combined with at least two reboots. wack, but at some point it suddenly worked

Great,
a new opportunity to break my system. 
Will try this new beauty today. Let's see if suspend2 will work and if this kernel will compile on ppc.
Regards,

Gcc gives me this error message
| Code: |
fs/proc/kcore.c:14:27: error: minux/proc_fs.h: No such file or directory
|
because it seems that there's a typographic error in kcore.c :
| Code: |
#include <minux/proc_fs.h>
|
instead of the correct include
| Code: |
#include <linux/proc_fs.h>

If you are using ccache try doing FEATURES="-ccache" emerge nvidia-kernel.
I've noticed that sometimes ccache, with some kernels (mostly mm tree), makes the nvidia module unusable or it fails with emerge error. Weird

Zephyrus: any comments on this?
AFAICT you have amd64 as well?
Fixes and additions not before this evening (CET)

For some reason after I emerge the sources the /usr/src/linux-2.6.17-beyond-dev folder is completely empty. During the emerge process it downloaded a 70 meg file, but no where did it actually uncompress it or install it.

$ uname -a
Linux Neptune 2.6.17-beyond-git1 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 31 00:12:21 EDT 2006 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz GNU/Linux
Works perfect here... I just reloaded my laptop so I Can't test everything I normally do (still getting everything sorted). Looks good, thanks

Such non-trivial things are scheduled for "when it's done".
But i will as soon as i can, together with adding back the menu entry for cks.

You need dev-util/git and dev-util/cogito (with USE="webdav curl") from latest ~arch, other than this
if you have both, try to completely remove the directory /usr/portage/distfiles/git-src and try again.
PS: The amd64 issue is probably solved in reiser4 from latest -mm, will update soon.
And you guys should all thank Zephyrus as he PM'd me a solution for the erroneous asm code in current reiser4,
which would have otherwise saved your reiser4/amd64 butts It was a big chunk of work he did, even though he doesn't use reiser4 
Thanks,
T

Just wondering, right now I'm running the latest stable version of the beyond sources. Is there a big improvement with these dev one's?
Btw, nice sources, you guys did a great job

Especially at the moment the development tree of beyond should be considered highly experimental,
based on the experimental 2.6.17-rc kernel with a few patches not (yet?) in stable. So, you can try this
kernel to see the future of beyond/linux kernel.
For everyday use with emphasis on stability you should however use the stable branch,
iphitus is doing a great job in keeping it free of bloating patches and maintaining stability.

Yeah, but I like experimenting with my gentoo box's (right now I have laptop for school use and a desktop to fiddle around on a bit).
On both I'm running the beyond-sources .
Maybe I'll give the dev sources a spin.
PS:
Is their a way to use my old config for the beyond-sources (so that I don't have to change everything from scratch)
Thnx for the reply |

How it is with libata, is it better to use SATA (via controller) with SCSI or libata? I use SCSI but dont know advantages and disadvantages..

Hehe, thanks for pointing that out Tiger...
Thank you Zephyrus
Even tho I don't use reiser4 anymore (seems more sluggish to me then reiser3), and I don't have a AMD64 system (yet.. hopefully)
So far I haven't had any problems with git2, granted my system still isn't up to full speed yet either. We'll see

I got it working by uninstalling git and cogito, then deleting everything in the git-src folder and my overlay. Redid everything from the top and it works. I'll let you know how the new kernel runs.
