 Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2009 11:56 pm Post subject: latest stable gentoo-sources and e2fsprogs versions |
 |
|
Hello, everyone!
I apologize in advance if this question is silly or if it is already pointed out in some documentation files or elsewhere, since I am definitely no expert on the matter, however, I just can't get this question out of my mind.
At the time of writing, the latest stable tree package versions for amd64 architecture are as follows:
gentoo-sources: 2.6.31-r6
e2fsprogs: 1.41.3-r1
However, according to Documentation/Changes in the kernel tree, one of the minimum requirements for running this kernel version is
Can't this possibly cause unforeseen and hard-to-track problems (which would be, in my opinion, unacceptable for the stable-tree), since these are both very important system packages?
Thank you in advance for clarification!

If this is a true documented requirement, then this is a bug in the gentoo-sources-2.6.31-r6 ebuild. Please file a Gentoo Bugzilla bug. If it's your first time, please read the Gentoo Bug Reporting Guide first.
Not silly at all.

biostar ~ # equery list e2fsprogs
[ Searching for package 'e2fsprogs' in all categories among: ]
