[gentoo-dev] ALSA 0.9.0rc1 packages committed

[Arcady Genkin]

I just updated alsa-drivers, alsa-lib, alsa-utils, alsa-oss, and
alsa-tools packages to the latest version (0.9.0rc1).  Could you
people please test them, and we should unmask the 0.9 version of alsa,
since, according to alsa's web site[1]:

   The 0.5.x series is considered deprecated and is no longer
   supported by ALSA developers.

One gotcha when upgrading to the new version is that portage thinks
that 0.9.0.1_beta10 is newer than 0.9.0_rc1.  Note that the 0.9.0.1
version was a hack to work around portage's deficiency with handling
alphabetic parts in versions (it should have been 0.9.0a_beta10, but
that doesn't work with portage).  Now that hack has backfired on us,
and anyone who wants to upgrade would have to specify the new version
for alsa-lib and alsa-utils. :-(

Forgot to mention another gotcha.  The sound moudules now don't have
the "-card-" component.  So, if you were autoloading a sound module
from, say, /etc/modules.autoload, then you had something like
"snd-card-emu10k1" in there.  You have to change it for "snd-emu10k1"
or else the module would not be found.

HTH,

If you mask 0.9.0.1_beta*, then 0.9.0_rc1 will be seen as the newest available 
version.. Did the same for koffice.. koffice-1.2_pre* was seen newer as 
koffice-1.2_beta1.. Masked the pre's, and everybody sees the beta as the 
newest :o)

See ya!

Hello,

have u unmerged previous driver before emerging new one?

 I did and basicaly new modules are not installed during emerge of RC1, 
and no error comes up. My guess is that if u havent unmerged previos
driver, old modules are still there and thats why u get that error while
everything seems to be OK.

Yep. Did that. (And took alsa out of the rc-env, cleaned modules.conf and 
modules.autoload.) Everything is "vanilla", bu t it seems I'm sufferung from 
the same probelm (no *.o files found) described above by U.

There's a man deeply in debt, see, and he takes the money he has left
and goes to Monte Carlo to try to recoup at the roulette tables.  Won a
little, lost a lot, and was down to his last franc.  Prayed for help.
A voice whispered in his ear: "Le rouge..."   Man looked around; nobody
there.  What the hell -- he puts his last franc on the red, and it won.
The voice immediately said, "Encore le rouge..."  Played red again, and
it won again.  The voice said, "Impair..."  Played odd, and it won.  Voice
said, "Quinze..." so he put all the money on 15, and it won.  This went
on for hours, the voice telling him what to bet, and the man putting all
his money on what the voice said, and winning.  Finally when the voice
spoke, the man protested that he'd won millions of dollars and wanted to
quit.  The voice was inexorable: "Douze..."  The man put the money on 12,
and 11 came up -- he had lost everything -- the voice murmured "Merde!!"

The problem seems to me, that compiled modules get written into 
/var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc1/work/alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc1/pci|isa
instead of 
/var/tmp/portage/alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc1/work/alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc1/modules. So 
the ebuild-script got nothing to copy.

yeah seams like it
Modules are probably in other directories to ,
because i cant get it working with just substituting 'modules' line 
with 'pci' and 'isa' lines. Anyway i am not ebuild nor alsa expert so
... :)

[gentoo-dev] alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc1-r1 committed

[Arcady Genkin]

Hi all:

Sorry about the breakage in the new alsa-driver.  Frankly, I don't
understand why it worked for me; but since it did, and I was under the
impression that alsa 0.9.X were masked, I sent in the changes.

Anyhow, I reworked some things in alsa-driver-0.9.0_rc1-r1 that is in
CVS now.  This should fix your problems, as far as I can see.  Please
also update the alsa-lib package, or else the dependency check will
fail for it.

I'll be looking closer into the other four alsa packages to make sure
that there have been no drastic changes there, like there were in
alsa-driver, but the current combination should be already workable.

Thanks for the reports.
