[gentoo-user] emerge fetch grabs wrong file!?

[maxim wexler]

Hi group,

Will somebody please explain this:

kyzyl heathen # emerge -afv klibc
These are the packages that would be fetched, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-libs/klibc-1.5.12-r1  USE="-debug (-n32)" 48,765 kB
Total: 1 package (1 new), Size of downloads: 48,765 kB
Would you like to fetch the source files for these packages? [Yes/No] yes

>>> Fetching (1 of 1) dev-libs/klibc-1.5.12-r1
>>> Downloading 'http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2'
--10:47:13--  http://distfiles.gentoo.org/distfiles/linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2
           => `/usr/portage/distfiles/linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2'
...

Whatever portage is fetching is turning into something I didn't order. I checked in distfiles and sure enough, there's no klibc* but a growing linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2. Weird.

Maxim

I checked the ebuild and it seems that klibc needs the kernel sources to build.

Nothing wrong with portage ;)

Boris.

Well you did not order it but the ebuild. klibc needs this version of
the linux kernel.

Yes, you did. Just guess where the "k" in klibc comes from?

Bye...

Nothing is wrong. That file is required for klibc. From the ebuild notes:

 NOTES:
 ======
 We need to bring in the kernel sources seperately
 Because they have to be configured in a way that differs from the copy in
 /usr/src/. The sys-kernel/linux-headers are too stripped down to use
 unfortunetly.
 This will be able to go away once the klibc author updates his code
 to build again the headers provided by the kernel's 'headers_install' target.

Yes, I saw that too, but 

1) why doesn't it list it from the start? 
2) the 2.6.28 source is already in my box, and it wants the 26? 

Oh well, there goes my phone line for 5 more hrs <sob!>

Q: How many packages have you ever installed that have multiple SRC_URIs and 
portage has given you a list of them up front?

A: None. You need "emerge -pvf" for that

> 2) the 2.6.28 source is already in my box, and it wants the 26?

Read the ebuild notes. It fetches 26 because the ebuild says it must fetch 26, 
not any old version you feel like.

Why 26 specifically? Well, headers can change between versions. Obviously, 
either a) the developer's code will only build against that particular version 
or b) the developer feels that's the safest version.

It's all right there in the notes - the very ones you chose the snip out of 
your reply......

It did include it in the total size estimate it gave in the first
output (48,765 kB). Your confusion may be from this: it is not
emerging a kernel package, it is simply downloading the kernel sources
as part of the klibc package.
