[gentoo-dev] Last rites for app-laptop/ibm-acpi

Hi,

The kernel module found in app-laptop/ibm-acpi has been included in
the vanilla kernel since linux-2.6.10. There has been no releases of
the stand-alone module since March 2005.

Unless somebody has a really good reason as to why we should keep the
external module in portage I will package.mask it in a week from now
and remove it from portage 30 days later.

Regards,
Brix

Is Gentoo planning on eradicating the 2.4 kernel from the tree in the
next few weeks?

No, some of the 2.4 kernels (e.g. hardened/gentoo-sources) are still
maintained.

What does that have to do with ibm-acpi? The module doesn't compile
against linux-2.4.x anyways.

That's a different matter. I didn't realize that it was 2.6 _only_. My
apologies. I should have looked for that before responding.

Also: while there are still a couple of 2.6 kernels in the tree prior to
2.6.10, I'm going to speculate that the arm, sparc, and s390 crowds are
not so interested in that particular module.

It's x86 only, some stuff for thinkpad laptops.

I have now package.masked app-laptop/ibm-acpi pending removal in 30
days.

I have now p.masked app-laptop/ibm-acpi. It will be removed from the
tree in 30 days.
